On Solaris we want to use DISM or ISM e.g. Dynamic Intimate Shared Memory or Intimate Shared Memory
which is available via sysv SHM only. This patch changes the default shared memory system to be sysv
on Solaris based systems e.g. which have SHM_SHARE_MMU (which translates to ISM) and when SHM_PAGEABLE
is defined in sys/shm.h we set the default PG_SHMAT_FLAGS to SHM_PAGEABLE which will lead to DISM being
used. The patch to the postgresql.conf.sample is to show that sysv is the default for Solaris and the
ordering is changed as by default it used to be mmap and posix for the defaults and you could always
override things using the sysv setting.
