Oh, now I see what you're on about.  Yes, I agree that we should
maintain the same formatting of WAL segment file names, even though
it will be rather artificial in the 64-bit-arithmetic world.  The
only externally visible change should be the creation of FF-numbered
files where formerly those were skipped.
