Fix handling of missing files when using pg_rewind with online source
When working with an online source cluster, pg_rewind gets a list of all the files in the source data directory using a WITH RECURSIVE query, returning a NULL result for a file's metadata if it gets removed between the moment it is listed in a directory and the moment its metadata is obtained with pg_stat_file() (say a recycled WAL segment). The query result was processed in such a way that for each tuple we checked only that the first file's metadata was NULL. This could have two consequences, both resulting in a failure of the rewind: - If the first tuple referred to a removed file, all files from the source would be ignored. - Any file actually missing would not be considered as such. While on it, rework slightly the code so as no values are saved if we know that a file is going to be skipped. Issue introduced by b36805f3, so backpatch down to 9.5.
