Tom Lane 7d4d5c00f0 Arrange to recycle old XLOG log segment files as new segment files,
rather than deleting them only to have to create more.  Steady state
is 2*CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS + WAL_FILES + 1 segment files, which will
simply be renamed rather than constantly deleted and recreated.
To make this safe, added current XLOG file/offset number to page
header of XLOG pages, so that an un-overwritten page from an old
incarnation of a logfile can be reliably told from a valid page.
This change means that if you try to restart postmaster in a CVS-tip
database after installing the change, you'll get a complaint about
bad XLOG page magic number.  If you don't want to initdb, run
contrib/pg_resetxlog (and be sure you shut down the old postmaster
cleanly).
