Re: [PATCH] Rename pg_switch_xlog to pg_switch_wal

Attaching a patch that renames all 'xlog' functions, keeping aliases for
old ones (since it looks like majority vote is for keeping them).

Following functions have been renamed:

Name | Replaced by
--------------------------------|-------------------------------
pg_current_xlog_flush_location | pg_current_wal_flush_location
pg_current_xlog_insert_location | pg_current_wal_insert_location
pg_current_xlog_location | pg_current_wal_location
pg_is_xlog_replay_paused | pg_is_recovery_paused
pg_last_xlog_receive_location | pg_last_wal_receive_location
pg_last_xlog_replay_location | pg_last_wal_replay_location
pg_switch_xlog | pg_switch_wal
pg_xlog_location_diff | pg_wal_location_diff
pg_xlog_replay_pause | pg_pause_recovery
pg_xlog_replay_resume | pg_resume_recovery
pg_xlogfile_name | pg_wal_file_name
pg_xlogfile_name_offset | pg_wal_file_name_offset

Questions/possible follow-up work:

- OIDs - where do I get numbers from? I was kinda choosing them at random,
unaware if there is some process for keeping track of them. Please point me
if such thing exists and I'll change them.
- Documentation. I've added a new section with a simple table, keeping it
somewhat neglected on purpose. We'll have old names in index and searchable
on page, but nothing more. Is it sufficient?
- New function names. I've used 'recovery' instead of 'xlog_replay' and
used 'wal_file' instead of 'xlogfile'. Does it make sense?
- Release notes. I was unable to find a draft for 10.0. How do I make sure
these renames are not forgotten?
