pgsql: Use the terminology "WAL file" not "log file" more consistently. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Use the terminology "WAL file" not "log file" more consistently.

Referring to the WAL as just "log" invites confusion with the
postmaster log, so avoid doing that in docs and error messages.
Also shorten "WAL segment file" to just "WAL file" in various
places.
