Fix issues around the "variable" support in the lwlock infrastructure. The lwlock scalability work introduced two race conditions into the lwlock variable support provided for xlog.c. First, and harmlessly on most platforms, it set/read the variable without the spinlock in some places. Secondly, due to the removal of the spinlock, it was possible that a backend missed changes to the variable's state if it changed in the wrong moment because checking the lock's state, the variable's state and the queuing are not protected by a single spinlock acquisition anymore. To fix first move resetting the variable's from LWLockAcquireWithVar to WALInsertLockRelease, via a new function LWLockReleaseClearVar. That prevents issues around waiting for a variable's value to change when a new locker has acquired the lock, but not yet set the value. Secondly re-check that the variable hasn't changed after enqueing, that prevents the issue that the lock has been released and already re-acquired by the time the woken up backend checks for the lock's state.
