Having this "pg_waldump" kind of format in this place
(rm_redo_error_callback()) ensures that we'll always see the same piece
of information during rm_redo.
I think it's good to guarantee that we'll always see the same piece of
information (should a new RM desc() be created in the future for
example), even if it could lead to some information overlap in some cases.

I am ok too, but I am also not sure that errcontext is the right place
for that.
