This commit reworks pg_get_wal_fpi_info() to become aware of all the block information that can be attached to a record rather than just its full-page writes: - Addition of the block id as assigned by XLogRegisterBuffer(), XLogRegisterBlock() or XLogRegisterBufData(). - Addition of the block data, as bytea, or NULL if none. The length of the block data can be guessed with length(), so there is no need to store its length in a separate field. - Addition of the full-page image length, as counted without a hole or even compressed. - Modification of the handling of the full-page image data. This is still a bytea, but it could become NULL if none is assigned to a block. - Addition of the full-page image flags, tracking if a page is stored with a hole, if it needs to be applied and the type of compression applied to it, as of all the BKPIMAGE_* values in xlogrecord.h. The information of each block is returned as one single record, with the record's ReadRecPtr included to be able to join the block information with the existing pg_get_wal_records_info(). Note that it is perfectly possible for a block to hold both data and full-page image. Thanks also to Kyotaro Horiguchi and Matthias van de Meent for the discussion. This commit uses some of the work proposed by Melanie, though it has been largely redesigned and rewritten by me. Bharath has helped in refining a bit the whole.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
