I think it would be better to update the control file directly instead
of going through pg_resetwal. (See
src/include/common/controldata_utils.h for the required functions.)
However, I don't know whether we need to add special provisions that
guard against people using postgres --single in complicated ways. Many
consider the single-user mode deprecated outside of initdb use.
