FWIW, I still find the use of _wal_ in these fields rather confusing,
and they add more inconsistencies with the internal structures of
reorderbuffer.c. The goal is to add a field to track the number of
bytes sent downstream. Hence, I would suggest to give up on the
rename, add the new field, perhaps consider improving the docs for the
existing fields to tell to which context these numbers refer to, then
call it a day.
