Robert Haas afd12774ae During online checkpoints, insert XLOG_CHECKPOINT_REDO at redo point.
This allows tools that read the WAL sequentially to identify (possible)
redo points when they're reached, rather than only being able to
detect them in retrospect when XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE is found, possibly
much later in the WAL stream. There are other possible applications as
well; see the discussion links below.

Any redo location that precedes the checkpoint location should now point
to an XLOG_CHECKPOINT_REDO record, so add a cross-check to verify this.

While adjusting the code in CreateCheckPoint() for this patch, I made it
call WALInsertLockAcquireExclusive a bit later than before, since there
appears to be no need for it to be held while checking whether the system
is idle, whether this is an end-of-recovery checkpoint, or what the current
timeline is.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC.

Patch by me, based in part on earlier work from Dilip Kumar. Review by
Dilip Kumar, Amit Kapila, Andres Freund, and Michael Paquier.

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/.
