Tom Lane c8b1c953b8 Fix bogus initialization of replication origin shared memory state.
The previous coding zeroed out offsetof(ReplicationStateCtl, states)
more bytes than it was entitled to, as a consequence of starting the
zeroing from the wrong pointer (or, if you prefer, using the wrong
calculation of how much to zero).

It's unsurprising that this has not caused any reported problems,
since it can be expected that the newly-allocated block is at the end
of what we've used in shared memory, and we always make the shmem
block substantially bigger than minimally necessary.  Nonetheless,
this is wrong and it could bite us someday; plus it's a dangerous
model for somebody to copy.

This dates back to the introduction of this code (commit 5aa235042),
so back-patch to all supported 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:

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
