Michael Paquier a0a5869a85 Add INJECTION_POINT_CACHED() to run injection points directly from cache
This new macro is able to perform a direct lookup from the local cache
of injection points (refreshed each time a point is loaded or run),
without touching the shared memory state of injection points at all.

This works in combination with INJECTION_POINT_LOAD(), and it is better
than INJECTION_POINT() in a critical section due to the fact that it
would avoid all memory allocations should a concurrent detach happen
since a LOAD(), as it retrieves a callback from the backend-private
memory.

The documentation is updated to describe in more details how to use this
new macro with a load.  Some tests are added to the module
injection_points based on a new SQL function that acts as a wrapper of
INJECTION_POINT_CACHED().

Based on a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas.
