Tom Lane d43837d030 Add lock_timeout configuration parameter.
This GUC allows limiting the time spent waiting to acquire any one
heavyweight lock.

In support of this, improve the recently-added timeout infrastructure
to permit efficiently enabling or disabling multiple timeouts at once.
That reduces the performance hit from turning on lock_timeout, though
it's still not zero.
