Prefetch data referenced by the WAL, take II.

Browse Source 
Introduce a new GUC recovery_prefetch.  When enabled, look ahead in the
WAL and try to initiate asynchronous reading of referenced data blocks
that are not yet cached in our buffer pool.  For now, this is done with
posix_fadvise(), which has several caveats.  Since not all OSes have
that system call, "try" is provided so that it can be enabled where
available.  Better mechanisms for asynchronous I/O are possible in later
work.

Set to "try" for now for test coverage.  Default setting to be finalized
before release.

The GUC wal_decode_buffer_size limits the distance we can look ahead in
bytes of decoded data.

The existing GUC maintenance_io_concurrency is used to limit the number
of concurrent I/Os allowed, based on pessimistic heuristics used to
infer that I/Os have begun and completed.  We'll also not look more than
maintenance_io_concurrency * 4 block references ahead.
