early-elog-v1.patch

Commit:     Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com>

    Fix elog(FATAL) before PostmasterMain() or just after fork().
    
    Since commit 97550c0711972a9856b5db751539bbaf2f88884c, these failed with
    "PANIC:  proc_exit() called in child process" due to uninitialized or
    stale MyProcPid.  That was reachable if close() failed in
    ClosePostmasterPorts() or setlocale(category, "C") failed, both
    unlikely.  Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions).
    
    Reviewed by FIXME.
