Skip WAL recycling and preallocation during archive recovery.
The previous commit addressed the chief consequences of a race condition
between InstallXLogFileSegment() and KeepFileRestoredFromArchive(). Fix
three lesser consequences. A spurious durable_rename_excl() LOG message
remained possible. KeepFileRestoredFromArchive() wasted the proceeds of
WAL recycling and preallocation. Finally, XLogFileInitInternal() could
return a descriptor for a file that KeepFileRestoredFromArchive() had
already unlinked. That felt like a recipe for future bugs.
This commit has been applied as of cc2c7d65fc27 in v15 and newer
versions. This is required on stable branches of v13 and v14 to fix a
regression reported by Noah Misch, introduced by 1f95181b44c8, causing
spurious failures in archive recovery (neither streaming nor archive
recovery) with concurrent restartpoints. The backpatched versions of
the patches have been aligned on these branches by me, Noah Misch is the
author. Tests have been conducted by the both of us.
Note that this commit is known to have introduced a regression of its
own. This is fixed by the commit following this one, and not grouped in
a single commit to keep the commit history consistent across all
branches.
