 * XLogReadBufferForRedo

 *
 * Reads a block referenced by a WAL record into shared buffer cache, and
 * determines what needs to be done to redo the changes to it.  If the WAL
 * record includes a full-page image of the page, it is restored.
 *
 * 'record.EndRecPtr' is compared to the page's LSN to determine if the record
 * has already been replayed.  'block_id' is the ID number the block was
 * registered with, when the WAL record was created.
 *
 * Returns one of the following:
 *
 *  BLK_NEEDS_REDO  - changes from the WAL record need to be applied
 *  BLK_DONE        - block doesn't need replaying
 *  BLK_RESTORED    - block was restored from a full-page image included in
 *                    the record
 *  BLK_NOTFOUND    - block was not found (because it was truncated away by
 *                    an operation later in the WAL stream)
 *
 * On return, the buffer is locked in exclusive-mode, and returned in *buf.
 * Note that the buffer is locked and returned even if it doesn't need
 * replaying.  (Getting the buffer lock is not really necessary during
 * single-process crash recovery, but some subroutines such as MarkBufferDirty
 * will complain if we don't have the lock.  In hot standby mode it's
 * definitely necessary.)
 *
 * Note: when a backup block is available in XLOG with the BKPIMAGE_APPLY flag
 * set, we restore it, even if the page in the database appears newer.  This
 * is to protect ourselves against database pages that were partially or
 * incorrectly written during a crash.  We assume that the XLOG data must be
 * good because it has passed a CRC check, while the database page might not
 * be.  This will force us to replay all subsequent modifications of the page
 * that appear in XLOG, rather than possibly ignoring them as already
 * applied, but that's not a huge drawback.

 * XLogReadBufferExtended
 *      Read a page during XLOG replay
 *
 * This is functionally comparable to ReadBufferExtended. There's some
 * differences in the behavior wrt. the "mode" argument:
 *
 * In RBM_NORMAL mode, if the page doesn't exist, or contains all-zeroes, we
 * return InvalidBuffer. In this case the caller should silently skip the
 * update on this page. (In this situation, we expect that the page was later
 * dropped or truncated. If we don't see evidence of that later in the WAL
 * sequence, we'll complain at the end of WAL replay.)
 *
 * In RBM_ZERO_* modes, if the page doesn't exist, the relation is extended
 * with all-zeroes pages up to the given block number.
 *
 * In RBM_NORMAL_NO_LOG mode, we return InvalidBuffer if the page doesn't
 * exist, and we don't check for all-zeroes.  Thus, no log entry is made
 * to imply that the page should be dropped or truncated later.
 *
 * Optionally, recent_buffer can be used to provide a hint about the location
 * of the page in the buffer pool; it does not have to be correct, but avoids
 * a buffer mapping table probe if it is.
 *
 * NB: A redo function should normally not call this directly. To get a page
 * to modify, use XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended instead. It is important that
 * all pages modified by a WAL record are registered in the WAL records, or
 * they will be invisible to tools that need to know which pages are modified.

 * Determine which timeline to read an xlog page from and set the

 * We care about timelines in xlogreader when we might be reading xlog
 * generated prior to a promotion, either if we're currently a standby in
 * recovery or if we're a promoted primary reading xlogs generated by the old
 * primary before our promotion.
 *
 * wantPage must be set to the start address of the page to read and
 * wantLength to the amount of the page that will be read, up to
 * XLOG_BLCKSZ. If the amount to be read isn't known, pass XLOG_BLCKSZ.
 *
 * The currTLI argument should be the system-wide current timeline.
 * Note that this may be different from state->currTLI, which is the timeline
 * from which the caller is currently reading previous xlog records.
 *
 * We switch to an xlog segment from the new timeline eagerly when on a
 * historical timeline, as soon as we reach the start of the xlog segment
 * containing the timeline switch.  The server copied the segment to the new
 * timeline so all the data up to the switch point is the same, but there's no
 * guarantee the old segment will still exist. It may have been deleted or
 * renamed with a .partial suffix so we can't necessarily keep reading from
 * the old TLI even though tliSwitchPoint says it's OK.
 *
 * We can't just check the timeline when we read a page on a different segment
 * to the last page. We could've received a timeline switch from a cascading
 * upstream, so the current segment ends abruptly (possibly getting renamed to
 * .partial) and we have to switch to a new one.  Even in the middle of reading
 * a page we could have to dump the cached page and switch to a new TLI.
 *
 * Because of this, callers MAY NOT assume that currTLI is the timeline that
 * will be in a page's xlp_tli; the page may begin on an older timeline or we
 * might be reading from historical timeline data on a segment that's been
 * copied to a new timeline.
 *
 * The caller must also make sure it doesn't read past the current replay
 * position (using GetXLogReplayRecPtr) if executing in recovery, so it
 * doesn't fail to notice that the current timeline became historical.
