Calculate # of semaphores correctly with --disable-spinlocks.
The old formula didn't take into account that each WAL sender process needs a spinlock. We had also already exceeded the fixed number of spinlocks reserved for misc purposes (10). Bump that to 30. Backpatch to 9.0, where WAL senders were introduced. If I counted correctly, 9.0 had exactly 10 predefined spinlocks, and 9.1 exceeded that, but bump the limit in 9.0 too because 10 is uncomfortably close to the edge.
