Michael Paquier b9a0de15eb Fix some issues with WAL segment opening for pg_receivewal --compress
The logic handling the opening of new WAL segments was fuzzy when using
--compress if a partial, non-compressed, segment with the same base name
existed in the repository storing those files.  In this case, using
--compress would cause the code to first check for the existence and the
size of a non-compressed segment, followed by the opening of a new
compressed, partial, segment.  The code was accidentally working
correctly on most platforms as the buildfarm has proved, except
bowerbird where gzflush() could fail in this code path.  It is wrong
anyway to take the code path used pre-padding when creating a new
partial, non-compressed, segment, so let's fix it.

Note that this issue exists when users mix successive runs of
pg_receivewal with or without compression, as discovered with the tests
introduced by ffc9dda.

While on it, this refactors the code so as code paths that need to know
about the ".gz" suffix are down from four to one in walmethods.c, easing
a bit the introduction of new compression methods.  This addresses a
second issue where log messages generated for an unexpected failure
would not show the compressed segment name involved, which was
confusing, printing instead the name of the non-compressed equivalent.

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:

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.
