DESCRIPTION: Removes citus.shard_placement_policy
The citus.shard_placement_policy GUC is only used in master_create_empty_shard, which exists primarily as rudimentary shard creation mechanism for range/append-distributed tables. After this PR, master_create_empty_shard uses round-robin placement when replication factor > 1, same as create_distributed_table does for hash-distributed tables.
The removed code was not covered by any tests.
