Increase maximum number of clog buffers.

Benchmarking has shown that the current number of clog buffers limits
scalability. We've previously increased the number in 33aaa139, but
that's not sufficient with a large number of clients.

We've benchmarked the cost of increasing the limit by benchmarking worst
case scenarios; testing showed that 128 buffers don't cause a
regression, even in contrived scenarios, whereas 256 does

There are a number of more complex patches flying around to address
various clog scalability problems, but this is simple enough that we can
get it into 9.6; and is beneficial even after those patches have been
applied.

It is a bit unsatisfactory to increase this in small steps every few
releases, but a better solution seems to require a rewrite of slru.c;
not something done quickly.
