Peter Geoghegan d2e5e20e57 Add xl_btree_delete optimization.
Commit 558a9165e0 taught _bt_delitems_delete() to produce its own XID
horizon on the primary.  Standbys no longer needed to generate their own
latestRemovedXid, since they could just use the explicitly logged value
from the primary instead.  The deleted offset numbers array from the
xl_btree_delete WAL record was no longer used by the REDO routine for
anything other than deleting the items.

This enables a minor optimization:  We now treat the array as buffer
state, not generic WAL data, following _bt_delitems_vacuum()'s example.
This should be a minor win, since it allows us to avoid including the
deleted items array in cases where XLogInsert() stores the whole buffer
anyway.  The primary goal here is to make the code more maintainable,
though.  Removing inessential differences between the two functions
highlights the fundamental differences that remain.

Also change xl_btree_delete to use uint32 for the size of the array of
item offsets being deleted.  This brings xl_btree_delete closer to
xl_btree_vacuum.  Furthermore, it seems like a good idea to use an
explicit-width integer type (the field was previously an "int").

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because xl_btree_delete changed.

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/.
