Add GUC ignore_invalid_pages.
Detection of WAL records having references to invalid pages
during recovery causes PostgreSQL to raise a PANIC-level error,
aborting the recovery. Setting ignore_invalid_pages to on causes
the system to ignore those WAL records (but still report a warning),
and continue recovery. This behavior may cause crashes, data loss,
propagate or hide corruption, or other serious problems.
However, it may allow you to get past the PANIC-level error,
to finish the recovery, and to cause the server to start up.
