Log Message:
-----------
Make the walwriter close it's handle to an old xlog segment if it's no longer
the current one. Not doing this would leave the walwriter with a handle to a
deleted file if there was nothing for it to do for a long period of time,
preventing the file from  being completely removed.

Reported by Tollef Fog Heen, and thanks to Heikki for some hand-holding with
the patch.
