Write a WAL record whenever we perform an operation without WAL-logging

that would've been WAL-logged if archiving was enabled. If we encounter
such records in archive recovery anyway, we know that some data is
missing from the log. A WARNING is emitted in that case.

Original patch by Fujii Masao, with changes by me.
