[task #7050] implement shared semaphores and mutexes, implement sem_open/semget

[Robins Tharakan]

Follow-up Comment #2, task #7050 (group hurd):

Just to reiterate there is still some interest in getting gnu/hurd+postgres to
work.

Unclear if Samuel's comment from 2022 changes things (and went unnoticed), but
in early 2023, PostgreSQL removed some code towards GNU/Hurd[2] and IIUC one
of the blocking reasons was lack of shared semaphores [1].


* PostgreSQL can't run on GNU/Hurd apparently, for lack of shared sempahores,
so who would even know if that works?
