Remove XLogFileNameP() from the tree
XLogFileNameP() is a wrapper routine able to build a palloc'd string for a WAL segment name, which is used for error string generation. There were several code paths where it gets called in a critical section, where memory allocation is not allowed. This results in triggering an assertion failure instead of generating the wanted error message. Another, more annoying, problem is that if the allocation to generate the WAL segment name fails on OOM, then the failure would be escalated to a PANIC. This removes the routine and all its callers are replaced with a logic using a fixed-size buffer. This way, all the existing mistakes are fixed and future ones are prevented.
