Replace pg_restrict by standard restrict

MSVC in C11 mode supports the standard restrict qualifier, so we don't
need the workaround naming pg_restrict anymore.

Even though restrict is in C99 and should be supported by all
supported compilers, we keep the configure test and the hardcoded
redirection to __restrict, because that will also work in C++ in all
supported compilers. (restrict is not part of the C++ standard.)

For backward compatibility for extensions, we keep a #define of
pg_restrict around, but our own code doesn't use it anymore.
