    Refactor more code logic to update the control file · 8b938d36
    Michael Paquier authored
    ce6afc68 has begun the refactoring work by plugging pg_rewind into a
    central routine to update the control file, and left around two extra
    copies, with one in xlog.c for the backend and one in pg_resetwal.c.  By
    adding an extra option to the central routine in controldata_utils.c to
    control if a flush of the control file needs to be done, it is proving
    to be straight-forward to make xlog.c and pg_resetwal.c use the central
    code path at the condition of moving the wait event tracking there.
    Hence, this allows to have only one central code path to update the
    control file, shaving the code from the duplicates.
    
    This refactoring actually fixes a problem in pg_resetwal.  Previously,
    the control file was first removed before being recreated.  So if a
    crash happened between the moment the file was removed and the moment
    the file was created, then it would have been possible to not have a
    control file anymore in the database folder.
