Add errdetail() with PID and UID about source of termination signal.

Add errdetail() with PID and UID about source of termination signal. When a backend is terminated via pg_terminate_backend() or an external SIGTERM, the error message now includes the sender's PID and UID as errdetail, making it easier to identify the source of unexpected terminations in multi-user environments. On platforms that support SA_SIGINFO (Linux, FreeBSD, and most modern Unix systems), the signal handler captures si_pid and si_uid from the siginfo_t structure. On platforms without SA_SIGINFO, the detail is simply omitted.
