Wake up for latches in CheckpointWriteDelay().

The checkpointer shouldn't ignore its latch.  Other backends may be
waiting for it to drain the request queue.  Hopefully real systems don't
have a full queue often, but the condition is reached easily when
shared_buffers is small.

This involves defining a new wait event, which will appear in the
pg_stat_activity view often due to spread checkpoints.

Back-patch only to 14.  Even though the problem exists in earlier
branches too, it's hard to hit there.  In 14 we stopped using signal
handlers for latches on Linux, *BSD and macOS, which were previously
hiding this problem by interrupting the sleep (though not reliably, as
the signal could arrive before the sleep begins; precisely the problem
latches address).
