Depending on compiler version and optimization level, we might
get a complaint that lazy_scan_heap's "freespace" is used
uninitialized.
Compilers not aware that ereport(ERROR) doesn't return complained
about bbsink_lz4_new().
Assigning "-1" to a uint64 value has unportable results; fortunately,
the value of xlogreadsegno is unimportant when xlogreadfd is -1.
(It looks to me like there is no need for xlogreadsegno to be static
in the first place, but I didn't venture to change that.)
LZ4 compression can be a lot faster than gzip compression, so users
may prefer it even if the compression ratio is not as good. We will
want pg_basebackup to support LZ4 compression and decompression on the
client side as well, and there is a pending patch for that, but it's
by a different author, so I am committing this part separately for
that reason.
