Michael Paquier 909b449e00 Fix concurrency issues with WAL segment recycling on Windows 
This commit is mostly a revert of aaa3aed, that switched the routine
doing the internal renaming of recycled WAL segments to use on Windows a
combination of CreateHardLinkA() plus unlink() instead of rename().  As
reported by several users of Postgres 13, this is causing concurrency
issues when manipulating WAL segments, mostly in the shape of the
following error:
LOG:  could not rename file "pg_wal/000000XX000000YY000000ZZ":
Permission denied

This moves back to a logic where a single rename() (well, pgrename() for
Windows) is used.  This issue has proved to be hard to hit when I tested
it, facing it only once with an archive_command that was not able to do
its work, so it is environment-sensitive.  The reporters of this issue
have been able to confirm that the situation improved once we switched
back to a single rename().  In order to check things, I have provided to
the reporters a patched build based on 13.2 with aaa3aed reverted, to
test if the error goes away, and an unpatched build of 13.2 to test if
the error still showed up (just to make sure that I did not mess up my
build process).

Extra thanks to Fujii Masao for pointing out what looked like the
culprit commit, and to all the reporters for taking the time to test
what I have sent them.

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
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
