On second thought, I'm going to revert the whole thing. There's a
bigger mess here than can be cleaned up on the fly. The
alignment-related mess in ParseCommitRecord is maybe something for
which I could just hack a quick fix, but what I've also just now
realized is that this makes a huge number of WAL records larger by 4
bytes, since most WAL records will contain a block reference. I don't
know whether that's OK or not, but I do know that it hasn't been
thought about, and after commit is not the time to begin experimenting
with such things.
