Tom Lane d10c626de4 Rename WAL-related functions and views to use "lsn" not "location".
Per discussion, "location" is a rather vague term that could refer to
multiple concepts.  "LSN" is an unambiguous term for WAL locations and
should be preferred.  Some function names, view column names, and function
output argument names used "lsn" already, but others used "location",
as well as yet other terms such as "wal_position".  Since we've already
renamed a lot of things in this area from "xlog" to "wal" for v10,
we may as well incur a bit more compatibility pain and make these names
all consistent.
