I don't think this should use the rm_safe_restartpoint machinery. As you
said, it's not tied to any specific resource manager. And I've actually
been thinking that we will get rid of rm_safe_restartpoint altogether in
the future. The two things that still use it are the b-tree and gin, and
I'd like to change both of those to not require any post-recovery
cleanup step to finish multi-page operations, similar to what I did with
GiST in 9.1.
