Use LW_SHARED in walsummarizer.c for WALSummarizerLock lock where possible.

Previously, we used LW_EXCLUSIVE in several places despite only reading
WalSummarizerCtl fields. This patch reduces the lock level to LW_SHARED
where we are only reading the shared fields.

Backpatch to 17, where wal summarization was introduced.
