 *
 * PROCLOCKTAG is the key information needed to look up a PROCLOCK item in the
 * proclock hashtable.  A PROCLOCKTAG value uniquely identifies the combination
 * of a lockable object and a holder/waiter for that object.  (We can use
 * pointers here because the PROCLOCKTAG need only be unique for the lifespan
 * of the PROCLOCK, and it will never outlive the lock or the proc.)
 *
 * Internally to a backend, it is possible for the same lock to be held
 * for different purposes: the backend tracks transaction locks separately
 * from session locks.  However, this is not reflected in the shared-memory
 * state: we only track which backend(s) hold the lock.  This is OK since a
 * backend can never block itself.
 *
 * The holdMask field shows the already-granted locks represented by this
 * proclock.  Note that there will be a proclock object, possibly with
 * zero holdMask, for any lock that the process is currently waiting on.
 * Otherwise, proclock objects whose holdMasks are zero are recycled
 * as soon as convenient.
 *
 * releaseMask is workspace for LockReleaseAll(): it shows the locks due
 * to be released during the current call.  This must only be examined or
 * set by the backend owning the PROCLOCK.
 *
 * Each PROCLOCK object is linked into lists for both the associated LOCK
 * object and the owning PGPROC object.  Note that the PROCLOCK is entered
 * into these lists as soon as it is created, even if no lock has yet been
 * granted.  A PGPROC that is waiting for a lock to be granted will also be
