51efe38cb92f introduced bunch of tests for idle_in_transaction_session_timeout,
transaction_timeout and statement_timeout. These tests were too flaky on some
slow buildfarm machines, so we plan to replace them with TAP tests using
injection points. This commit removes flaky tests.

This commit adds timeout that is expected to be used as a prevention
of long-running queries. Any session within the transaction will be
terminated after spanning longer than this timeout.
However, this timeout is not applied to prepared transactions.
Only transactions with user connections are affected.

For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that
session and step names be written with double quotes. This is
fairly tedious and does little for test readability, especially
since the names that people actually choose almost always look
like normal identifiers. Hence, let's tweak the lexer to allow
SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings.
(They're SQL-like, not exactly SQL, because I didn't add any
case-folding logic. Also there's no provision for U&"..." names,
not that anyone's likely to care.)
There is one incompatibility introduced by this change: if you write
"foo""bar" with no space, that used to be taken as two identifiers,
but now it's just one identifier with an embedded quote mark.
I converted all the src/test/isolation/ specfiles to remove
unnecessary double quotes, but stopped there because my
eyes were glazing over already.
Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this
isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes.

We've long contended with isolation test results that aren't entirely
stable. Some test scripts insert long delays to try to force stable
results, which is not terribly desirable; but other erratic failure
modes remain, causing unrepeatable buildfarm failures. I've spent a
fair amount of time trying to solve this by improving the server-side
support code, without much success: that way is fundamentally unable
to cope with diffs that stem from chance ordering of arrival of
messages from different server processes.
We can improve matters on the client side, however, by annotating
the test scripts themselves to show the desired reporting order
of events that might occur in different orders. This patch adds
three types of annotations to deal with (a) test steps that might or
might not complete their waits before the isolationtester can see them
waiting; (b) test steps in different sessions that can legitimately
complete in either order; and (c) NOTIFY messages that might arrive
before or after the completion of a step in another session. We might
need more annotation types later, but this seems to be enough to deal
with the instabilities we've seen in the buildfarm. It also lets us
get rid of all the long delays that were previously used, cutting more
than a minute off the runtime of the isolation tests.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because the buildfarm
instabilities affect all the branches, and because it seems desirable
to keep isolationtester's capabilities the same across all branches
to simplify possible future back-patching of tests.

The buildfarm members using -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS still don't like this
test. Some experimentation shows that on my machine, isolationtester's
query to check for "waiting" state takes 2 to 2.5 seconds to bind+execute
under -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. Set the timeouts to 5 seconds to leave some
headroom for possibly-slower buildfarm critters.
Really we ought to fix the "waiting" query, which is not only horridly
slow but outright wrong in detail; and then maybe we can back off these
timeouts. But right now I'm just trying to get the buildfarm green again.

Buildfarm member friarbird doesn't like this test as-committed, evidently
because it's so slow that the test framework doesn't reliably notice that
the backend is waiting before the timeout goes off. (This is not totally
surprising, since friarbird builds with -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.) Increase
the timeout delay from 1 second to 2 in hopes of resolving that problem.

This GUC allows limiting the time spent waiting to acquire any one
heavyweight lock.
In support of this, improve the recently-added timeout infrastructure
to permit efficiently enabling or disabling multiple timeouts at once.
That reduces the performance hit from turning on lock_timeout, though
it's still not zero.
