Robert Haas 4fd1479494 walmethods.c/h: Make Walfile a struct, rather than a void *
This makes the curent file position and pathname visible in a generic
way, so we no longer need current_walfile_name global variable or the
get_current_pos() method. Since that purported to be able to fail but
never actually did, this also lets us get rid of some unnecessary
error-handling code.

One risk of this change is that the get_current_pos() method
previously cleared the error indicator, and that will no longer happen
with the new approach. I looked for a way that this could cause problems
and did not find one.

The previous code was confused about whether "Walfile" was the
implementation-dependent structure representing a WAL file or
whether it was a pointer to that stucture. Some of the code used it
one way, and some in the other. The compiler tolerated that because
void * is interchangeable with void **, but now that Walfile is a
struct, it's necessary to be consistent. Hence, some references to
"Walfile" have been converted to "Walfile *".

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:

	https://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.  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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
