Michael Paquier 9ecb134a93 pg_walinspect: pg_get_wal_fpi_info() -> pg_get_wal_block_info()
This commit reworks pg_get_wal_fpi_info() to become aware of all the
block information that can be attached to a record rather than just its
full-page writes:
- Addition of the block id as assigned by XLogRegisterBuffer(),
XLogRegisterBlock() or XLogRegisterBufData().
- Addition of the block data, as bytea, or NULL if none.  The length of
the block data can be guessed with length(), so there is no need to
store its length in a separate field.
- Addition of the full-page image length, as counted without a hole or
even compressed.
- Modification of the handling of the full-page image data.  This is
still a bytea, but it could become NULL if none is assigned to a block.
- Addition of the full-page image flags, tracking if a page is stored
with a hole, if it needs to be applied and the type of compression
applied to it, as of all the BKPIMAGE_* values in xlogrecord.h.

The information of each block is returned as one single record, with the
record's ReadRecPtr included to be able to join the block information
with the existing pg_get_wal_records_info().  Note that it is perfectly
possible for a block to hold both data and full-page image.

Thanks also to Kyotaro Horiguchi and Matthias van de Meent for the
discussion.

This commit uses some of the work proposed by Melanie, though it has
been largely redesigned and rewritten by me.  Bharath has helped in
refining a bit the whole.

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/.
