On Darwin, detect and report a multithreaded postmaster.
Darwin --enable-nls builds use a substitute setlocale() that may start a
thread. Buildfarm member orangutan experienced BackendList corruption
on account of different postmaster threads executing signal handlers
simultaneously. Furthermore, a multithreaded postmaster risks undefined
behavior from sigprocmask() and fork(). Emit LOG messages about the
problem and its workaround. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).
