Alvaro Herrera 6b61955135 Code review for transaction commit timestamps
There are three main changes here:

1. No longer cause a start failure in a standby if the feature is
disabled in postgresql.conf but enabled in the master.  This reverts one
part of commit 4f3924d9cd43; what we keep is the ability of the standby
to activate/deactivate the module (which includes creating and removing
segments as appropriate) during replay of such actions in the master.

2. Replay WAL records affecting commitTS even if the feature is
disabled.  This means the standby will always have the same state as the
master after replay.

3. Have COMMIT PREPARE record the transaction commit time as well.  We
were previously only applying it in the normal transaction commit path.

Additionally, I cleaned up nearby code related to replication origins,
which I found a bit hard to follow, and fixed a couple of typos.

Backpatch to 9.5, where this code was introduced.

Per bug reports from Fujii Masao and subsequent discussion.

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.  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/.
