Refactor InitPostgres() to use bitwise option flags

InitPostgres() has been using a set of boolean arguments to control its
behavior, and a patch under discussion was aiming at expanding it with a
third one.  In preparation for expanding this area, this commit switches
all the current boolean arguments of this routine to a single bits32
argument instead.  Two values are currently supported for the flags:
- INIT_PG_LOAD_SESSION_LIBS to load [session|local]_preload_libraries at
startup.
- INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ALLOW_CONNS to allow connection to a database even if
it has !datallowconn.  This is used by bgworkers.
