Forcing current WAL file to be archived

Where are we on these TODO items:

o Allow point-in-time recovery to archive partially filled
write-ahead logs [pitr]

Currently only full WAL files are archived. This means that the
most recent transactions aren't available for recovery in case
of a disk failure. This could be triggered by a user command or
a timer.

o Automatically force archiving of partially-filled WAL files when
pg_stop_backup() is called or the server is stopped

Doing this will allow administrators to know more easily when
the archive contains all the files needed for point-in-time
recovery.

o Add reporting of the current WAL file, perhaps as part of
partial log file archiving

Seems they should be completed for 8.2. I have only a /contrib version for
the last one.
