constant flow of new connection requests could prevent the postmaster from
completing a shutdown or crash restart.  This is done by labeling child
processes that are "dead ends", that is, we know that they were launched only
to tell a client that it can't connect.  These processes are managed
separately so that they don't confuse us into thinking that we can't advance
to the next stage of a shutdown or restart sequence, until the very end
where we must wait for them to drain out so we can delete the shmem segment.
Per discussion of a misbehavior reported by Keaton Adams.

hopefully makes everything a bit clearer.
