Use correct LSN for error reporting in pg_walinspect

Usage of ReadNextXLogRecord()'s first_record parameter for error
reporting isn't always correct. For instance, in GetWALRecordsInfo()
and GetWalStats(), we're reading multiple records, and first_record
is always passed as the LSN of the first record which is then used
for error reporting for later WAL record read failures. This isn't
correct.

The correct parameter to use for error reports in case of WAL
reading failures is xlogreader->EndRecPtr. This change fixes it.

While on it, removed an unnecessary Assert in pg_walinspect code.
