Hi,

Sometimes the postgres server log message and the pg_archivecleanup debug
message are output in the same line as follows. This is a little hard to
read.

-----------------------
LOG: restored log file "00000001000000000000006B" from archive
pg_archivecleanup: keep WAL file 000000010000000000000068 and later
pg_archivecleanup: removing
"/dav/head-pgsql/act.arh/000000010000000000000048"LOG: restored log
file "00000001000000000000006C" from archive

pg_archivecleanup: removing "/dav/head-pgsql/act.arh/000000010000000000000061"
pg_archivecleanup: removing "/dav/head-pgsql/act.arh/00000001000000000000004D"
pg_archivecleanup: removing "/dav/head-pgsql/act.arh/00000001000000000000005C"
-----------------------

This is because pg_archivecleanup puts the line break "\n" in the head of
debug message. Why should we do so?

-----------------------
if (debug)
fprintf(stderr, "\n%s: removing \"%s\"", progname, WALFilePath);
-----------------------
