Use simplehash for backend-private buffer pin refcounts.

Replace dynahash with simplehash for the per-backend PrivateRefCountHash
overflow table.  Simplehash generates inlined, open-addressed lookup
code, avoiding the per-call overhead of dynahash that becomes noticeable
when many buffers are pinned with a CPU-bound workload.

Motivated by testing of the index prefetching patch, which pins many
more buffers concurrently than typical index scans.
