Handle EPERM in pg_numa_init

When running in Docker, the container may not have privileges needed by
get_mempolicy(). This is called by numa_available() in libnuma, but
versions prior to 2.0.19 did not expect that. The numa_available() call
seemingly succeeds, but then we get unexpected failures when trying to
query status of pages:

  postgres =# select * from pg_shmem_allocations_numa;
  ERROR:  XX000: failed NUMA pages inquiry status: Operation not
          permitted
  LOCATION:  pg_get_shmem_allocations_numa, shmem.c:691

The best solution is to call get_mempolicy() first, and proceed to
numa_available() only when it does not fail with EPERM. Otherwise we'd
need to treat older libnuma versions as insufficient, which seems a bit
too harsh, as this only affects containerized systems.

Fix by me, based on suggestions by Christoph. Backpatch to 18, where the
NUMA functions were introduced.
