Heikki Linnakangas 06f82b2961 Write an end-of-backup WAL record at pg_stop_backup(), and wait for it at 
recovery instead of reading the backup history file. This is more robust,
as it stops you from prematurely starting up an inconsisten cluster if the
backup history file is lost for some reason, or if the base backup was
never finished with pg_stop_backup().

This also paves the way for a simpler streaming replication patch, which
doesn't need to care about backup history files anymore.

The backup history file is still created and archived as before, but it's
not used by the system anymore. It's just for informational purposes now.

Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION as the location of the backup startpoint is now
written to a new field in pg_control, and catversion because initdb is
required

Original patch by Fujii Masao per Simon's idea, with further fixes by me.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
