Per some discussions with a number of different people at pgconfeu, here is
a patch that changes the default mode of pg_basebackup to be streaming the
wal, as this is what most users would want -- and those that don't want it
have to make other changes as well. Doing the "most safe" thing by default
is a good idea.

The new option "-x none" is provided to turn this off and get the previous
behavior back.

I will add this to the next (January) commitfest.
