Raphaël, don't you have problems with pg_twophase as well? Wouldn't
the new fsync call in CheckPointTwoPhase() fail equally if no 2PC
transactions have happened in a checkpoint cycle? That would not be an
issue with pg_commit_ts and pg_xact normally, but we are talking about
checkpoints skipped or not depending on WAL activity, tracking which
is more properly done in v10.
