Subject: [PATCH v5 4/7] postmaster: Move code to switch into FatalError state
 into function

There are two places switching to FatalError mode, behaving somewhat
differently. An upcoming commit will introduce a third. That doesn't seem seem
like a good idea.

This commit just moves the FatalError related code from HandleChildCrash()
into its own function, a subsequent commit will evolve the state machine
change to be suitable for other callers.
