Introduce wal_level GUC to explicitly control if information needed for
archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby to enable/disable hot standby. Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections, max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the standby until the first checkpoint after the change. Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches changed it to 0x9003.
