injection_points: Introduce runtime conditions

This adds a new SQL function injection_points_set_local() that can be
used to force injection points to be run only in the process where they
are attached.  This is handy for SQL tests to:
- Detach automatically injection points when the process exits.
- Allow tests with injection points to run concurrently with other test
suites, so as such modules do not have to be marked with
NO_INSTALLCHECK.

Currently, the only condition that can be registered is for a PID.
This could be extended to more kinds later, if required, like database
names/OIDs, roles, or more concepts I did not consider.

Using a single function for SQL scripts is an idea from Heikki
Linnakangas.
