Michael Paquier 9a1bd82711 Prevent references to invalid relation pages after fresh promotion
If a standby crashes after promotion before having completed its first
post-recovery checkpoint, then the minimal recovery point which marks
the LSN position where the cluster is able to reach consistency may be
set to a position older than the first end-of-recovery checkpoint while
all the WAL available should be replayed.  This leads to the instance
thinking that it contains inconsistent pages, causing a PANIC and a hard
instance crash even if all the WAL available has not been replayed for
certain sets of records replayed.  When in crash recovery,
minRecoveryPoint is expected to always be set to InvalidXLogRecPtr,
which forces the recovery to replay all the WAL available, so this
commit makes sure that the local copy of minRecoveryPoint from the
control file is initialized properly and stays as it is while crash
recovery is performed.  Once switching to archive recovery or if crash
recovery finishes, then the local copy minRecoveryPoint can be safely
updated.

Pavan Deolasee has reported and diagnosed the failure in the first
place, and the base fix idea to rely on the local copy of
minRecoveryPoint comes from Kyotaro Horiguchi, which has been expanded
into a full-fledged patch by me.  The test included in this commit has
been written by Álvaro Herrera and Pavan Deolasee, which I have modified
to make it faster and more reliable with sleep phases.

Backpatch down to all supported versions where the bug appears, aka 9.3
which is where the end-of-recovery checkpoint is not run by the startup
process anymore.  The test gets easily supported down to 10, still it
has been tested on all branches.

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
