Michael Paquier 18ec25412c Fix handling of missing files when using pg_rewind with online source
When working with an online source cluster, pg_rewind gets a list of all
the files in the source data directory using a WITH RECURSIVE query,
returning a NULL result for a file's metadata if it gets removed between
the moment it is listed in a directory and the moment its metadata is
obtained with pg_stat_file() (say a recycled WAL segment).  The query
result was processed in such a way that for each tuple we checked only
that the first file's metadata was NULL.  This could have two
consequences, both resulting in a failure of the rewind:
- If the first tuple referred to a removed file, all files from the
source would be ignored.
- Any file actually missing would not be considered as such.

While on it, rework slightly the code so as no values are saved if we
know that a file is going to be skipped.

Issue introduced by b36805f, so backpatch down to 9.5.

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
