pgsql: Implement a chunking protocol for writes to the syslogger pipe, - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Implement a chunking protocol for writes to the syslogger pipe, with messages
reassembled in the syslogger before writing to the log file. This prevents
partial messages from being written, which mucks up log rotation, and
messages from different backends being interleaved, which causes garbled
logs. Backport as far as 8.0, where the syslogger was introduced.
