  1. Optimize shared LWLock acquisition for high-core-count systems 

    This patch introduces optimizations to reduce lock acquisition overhead in
LWLock by merging the read and update operations for the LW_SHARED lock's
state. This eliminates the need for separate atomic instructions, which is
critical for improving performance on high-core-count systems.

Key changes:
- Extended LW_SHARED_MASK by 1 bit and shifted LW_VAL_EXCLUSIVE by 1 bit to
  ensure compatibility with the upper bound of MAX_BACKENDS * 2.
- Added a `willwait` parameter to `LWLockAttemptLock` to disable the
  optimization when the caller is unwilling to wait, avoiding conflicts
  between the reference count and the LW_VAL_EXCLUSIVE flag.
- Updated `LWLockReleaseInternal` to use `pg_atomic_fetch_and_u32` for
  clearing lock state flags atomically.
- Adjusted related functions (`LWLockAcquire`, `LWLockConditionalAcquire`,
  `LWLockAcquireOrWait`) to pass the `willwait` parameter appropriately.

These changes improve scalability and reduce contention in workloads with
frequent LWLock operations on servers with many cores.
