Makes sense to me to document that in a better way.  What about the
addition of a short paragraph at the top of XLogFileReadAnyTLI() that
explains the behaviors we expect depending on the values of
XLogSource?  The case of XLOG_FROM_ANY with the order to scan the
archives then pg_wal/ for each timeline is the most important bit,
surely.
