The cases involving max_block_id, has_image and in_use are still "can't
happen" cases, which used to hit elog(), and INTERNAL_ERROR sounds right
for them.
But that's also what'll happen when attempting to replay WAL using a postgres
build which doesn't support the necessary compression method. I ran into this
while compiling postgres locally while reporting the recovery_prefetch bug,
when I failed to compile --with-zstd. Note that basebackup does:
src/backend/backup/basebackup_zstd.c- ereport(ERROR,
src/backend/backup/basebackup_zstd.c- (errcode(ERRCODE_FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED),
src/backend/backup/basebackup_zstd.c: errmsg("zstd compression is not supported by this build")));
src/backend/backup/basebackup_zstd.c- return NULL; /* keep compiler quiet */
