Subject: pgsql: Redefine max_files_per_process to control additionally opened fi

Redefine max_files_per_process to control additionally opened files
Until now max_files_per_process=N limited each backend to open N files in
total (minus a safety factor), even if there were already more files opened in
postmaster and inherited by backends. Change max_files_per_process to control
how many additional files each process is allowed to open.
The main motivation for this is the patch to add io_method=io_uring, which
needs to open one file for each backend. Without this patch, even if
RLIMIT_NOFILE is high enough, postmaster will fail in set_max_safe_fds() if
started with a high max_connections. The cause of the failure is that, until
now, set_max_safe_fds() subtracted the already open files from
max_files_per_process.
