Fix kill() call in elog() so that it gets its own pid by calling getpid().

MyProcPid global variable is set to 0 when postgres starts as a command
(not as a backend daemon). This leads issuing SIGQUIT to the process group,
not the process itself. As a result, parent sh gets core dumped in the
Wisconsin benchmark test.
