We create a file, so we better WAL-log it. In practice, all the built-in index AMs and all extensions that I'm aware of write a metapage to the init fork, which is WAL-logged, and replay of the metapage implicitly creates the fork too. But if ambuildempty() didn't write any page, we would miss it. This can be seen with dummy_index_am. Set up replication, create a 'dummy_index_am' index on an unlogged table, and look at the files created in the replica: the init fork is not created on the replica. Dummy_index_am doesn't do anything with the relation files, however, so it doesn't lead to any user-visible errors. Backpatch to all supported versions.
