Tom Lane 2042b3428d Invent WAL timelines, as per recent discussion, to make point-in-time
recovery more manageable.  Also, undo recent change to add FILE_HEADER
and WASTED_SPACE records to XLOG; instead make the XLOG page header
variable-size with extra fields in the first page of an XLOG file.
This should fix the boundary-case bugs observed by Mark Kirkwood.
initdb forced due to change of XLOG representation.

Tom Lane 9c7a765f02 Remove unportable use of strptime() to parse recovery target time spec.
Instead use our own abstimein code, which is more flexible anyway.

Tom Lane 66ec2db728 XLOG file archiving and point-in-time recovery. There are still some
loose ends and a glaring lack of documentation, but it basically works.

Simon Riggs with some editorialization by Tom Lane.
