Repair an error introduced by log_line_prefix patch: it is not acceptable

Repair an error introduced by log_line_prefix patch: it is not acceptable to assume that the string pointer passed to set_ps_display is good forever. There's no need to anyway since ps_status.c itself saves the string, and we already had an API (get_ps_display) to return it. I believe this explains Jim Nasby's report of intermittent crashes in elog.c when %i format code is in use in log_line_prefix. While at it, repair a previously unnoticed problem: on some platforms such as Darwin, the string returned by get_ps_display was blank-padded to the maximum length, meaning that lock.c's attempt to append " waiting" to it never worked.
