Make XLogRecGetBlockTag() throw error if there's no such block.

All but a few existing callers assume without checking that this
function succeeds.  While it probably will, that's a poor excuse for
not checking.  Let's make it return void and instead throw an error
if it doesn't find the block reference.  Callers that actually need
to handle the no-such-block case must now use the underlying function
XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended.

In addition to being a bit less error-prone, this should also serve
to suppress some Coverity complaints about XLogRecGetBlockRefInfo.

While at it, clean up some inconsistency about use of the
XLogRecHasBlockRef macro: make XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended use
that instead of open-coding the same condition, and avoid calling
XLogRecHasBlockRef twice in relevant code paths.  (That is,
calling XLogRecHasBlockRef followed by XLogRecGetBlockTag is now
deprecated: use XLogRecGetBlockTagExtended instead.)

Patch HEAD only; this doesn't seem to have enough value to consider
a back-branch API break.
