I've committed this after heavy rewriting. In particular, I merged
two loops, used local variables to get rid of the very long and quite
repetitive lines, and did various cleanup on the documentation and
comments.

I think we ought to move the buffer mapping, lock manager, and
predicate lock manager locks into their own tranches also, perhaps
using this new named-tranche facility. In addition, I think we should
get rid of NumLWLocks(). It's no longer calculating anything; it just
returns NUM_FIXED_LWLOCKS, and with the changes described in the first
sentence of this paragraph, it will simply return
NUM_INDIVIDUAL_LWLOCKS. We don't need a function just to do that; the
assignment it does can be moved to the relevant caller.
