* Support worker_spi to execute the function dynamically.

Hi,

While I'm working on the thread[1], I found that the function of
worker_spi module fails if 'shared_preload_libraries' doesn't have
worker_spi.

The reason is that the database name is NULL because the database name
is initialized only when process_shared_preload_libraries_in_progress
is true.

```
psql=# SELECT worker_spi_launch(1) ;
2023-07-20 11:00:56.491 JST [1179891] LOG:  worker_spi worker 1 
initialized with schema1.counted
2023-07-20 11:00:56.491 JST [1179891] FATAL:  cannot read pg_class 
without having selected a database at character 22
2023-07-20 11:00:56.491 JST [1179891] QUERY:  select count(*) from 
pg_namespace where nspname = 'schema1'
2023-07-20 11:00:56.491 JST [1179891] STATEMENT:  select count(*) from 
pg_namespace where nspname = 'schema1'
2023-07-20 11:00:56.492 JST [1179095] LOG:  background worker 
"worker_spi" (PID 1179891) exited with exit code 1
```

In my understanding, the restriction is not required. So, I think it's
better to change the behavior.

Subject: [PATCH] Support worker_spi to execute the function dynamically.

Currently, the database name to connect is initialized only
when process_shared_preload_libraries_in_progress is true.
It means that worker_spi_launch() fails if shared_preload_libraries
is empty because the database to connect is NULL.

The patch changes that the database name is always initilized
when called _PG_init(). We can call worker_spi_launch() and
launch SPI workers dynamically.

I guess that you were patching worker_spi to register dynamically a
wait event and embed that in a TAP test or similar without loading it
in shared_preload_libraries?  FWIW, you could use a trick like what I
am attaching here to load a wait event dynamically with the custom
wait event API.  You would need to make worker_spi_init_shmem() a bit
more aggressive with an extra hook to reserve a shmem area size, but
that's enough to show the custom wait event in the same backend as the
one that launches a worker_spi dynamically, while demonstrating how
the API can be used in this case.

+1.  I'm OK to lift this restriction with a SIGHUP GUC for the
database name and that's not a pattern to encourage in a template
module.  Will do so, if there are no objections.

Yes, you're right. When I tried using worker_spi to test wait event,
I found the behavior. And thanks a lot for your patch. I wasn't aware
of the way.  I'll merge your patch to the tests for wait events.

Be careful when using that.  I have not spent more than a few minutes
to show my point, but what I sent lacks a shmem_request_hook in
_PG_init(), for example, to request an amount of shared memory equal
to the size of the state structure.

I think the preferred way to grab a chunk of shared memory for an
external module is by using shmem_request_hook and shmem_startup_hook.
Wait events shared memory too can use them.
