Fix the torn-page hazard for PITR base backups by forcing full page writes
to occur between pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup(), even if the GUC setting full_page_writes is OFF. Per discussion, doing this in combination with the already-existing checkpoint during pg_start_backup() should ensure safety against partial page updates being included in the backup. We do not have to force full page writes to occur during normal PITR operation, as I had first feared.
