Tom Lane 4a1b05caa5 Restore AIX support.
The concerns that led us to remove AIX support in commit 0b16bb877
have now been alleviated:

1. IBM has stepped forward to provide support, including buildfarm
animal(s).
2. AIX 7.2 and later seem to be fine with large pg_attribute_aligned
requirements.  Since 7.1 is now EOL anyway, we can just cease to
support it.
3. Tossing xlc support overboard seems okay as well.  It's a bit
sad to drop one of the few remaining non-gcc-alike compilers, but
working around xlc's bugs and idiosyncrasies doesn't seem justified
by the theoretical portability benefits.
4. Likewise, we can stop supporting 32-bit AIX builds.  This is
not so much about whether we could build such executables as that
they're too much of a pain to manage in the field, due to limited
address space available for dynamic library loading.
5. We hit on a way to manage catalog column alignment that doesn't
require continuing developer effort (see commit ecae09725).

Hence, this commit reverts 0b16bb877 and some follow-on commits
such as e6bb491bf, except for not putting back XLC support nor
the changes related to catalog column alignment.

Some other notable changes from the way things were in v16:

Prefer unnamed POSIX semaphores on AIX, rather than the default
choice of SysV semaphores.

Include /opt/freeware/lib in -Wl,-blibpath, even when it is not
mentioned anywhere in LDFLAGS.

Remove platform-specific adjustment of MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT; maybe
that's still the right thing, but it really ought to be re-tested.

Silence compiler warnings related to getpeereid(), wcstombs_l(),
and PAM conversation procs.

Accept "libpythonXXX.a" as an okay name for the Python shared
library (but only on AIX!).

# the latter exists at all, it very possibly points to python2.
# As the Python 3 transition happens and PEP 394 isn't updated, we
# need to cater to systems that don't have unversioned "python" by
# default. Some systems ship with "python3" by default and perhaps
# have "python" in an optional package. Some systems only have
# "python2" and "python3", in which case it's reasonable to prefer the
