Why is it inappropriate solution? There's a log_checkpoints GUC that
drives it and you can either get basic info (summary of the checkpoint) or
detailed log (with a lower log level).

In the first patch I've proposed a new GUC (used to set how often the info
should be logged or disable it), but Josh Berkus pointed out that I should
get rid of it if I can. Which is what I've done in the following patches.
