Robert Haas 1ed3c6ff9e Log the creation of an init fork unconditionally.
Previously, it was thought that this only needed to be done for the
benefit of possible standbys, so wal_level = minimal skipped it.
But that's not safe, because during crash recovery we might replay
XLOG_DBASE_CREATE or XLOG_TBLSPC_CREATE record which recursively
removes the directory that contains the new init fork.  So log it
always.

The user-visible effect of this bug is that if you create a database
or tablespace, then create an unlogged table, then crash without
checkpointing, then restart, accessing the table will fail, because
the it won't have been properly reset.  This commit fixes that.

Michael Paquier, per a report from Konstantin Knizhnik.  Wording of
the comments per a suggestion from me.

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.
