Nathan Bossart 8d140c5822 Improve the naming in wal_sync_method code.
* sync_method is renamed to wal_sync_method.

* sync_method_options[] is renamed to wal_sync_method_options[].

* assign_xlog_sync_method() is renamed to assign_wal_sync_method().

* The names of the available synchronization methods are now
  prefixed with "WAL_SYNC_METHOD_" and have been moved into a
  WalSyncMethod enum.

* PLATFORM_DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD is renamed to
  PLATFORM_DEFAULT_WAL_SYNC_METHOD, and DEFAULT_SYNC_METHOD is
  renamed to DEFAULT_WAL_SYNC_METHOD.

These more descriptive names help distinguish the code for
wal_sync_method from the code for DataDirSyncMethod (e.g., the
recovery_init_sync_method configuration parameter and the
--sync-method option provided by several frontend utilities).  This
change also prevents name collisions between the aforementioned
sets of code.  Since this only improves the naming of internal
identifiers, there should be no behavior change.

/*
* As of July 2007, all known versions of the Linux kernel will sometimes
* return EIDRM for a shmctl() operation when EINVAL is correct (it happens
* when the low-order 15 bits of the supplied shm ID match the slot number
* assigned to a newer shmem segment). We deal with this by assuming that
* EIDRM means EINVAL in PGSharedMemoryIsInUse(). This is reasonably safe
* since in fact Linux has no excuse for ever returning EIDRM; it doesn't
* track removed segments in a way that would allow distinguishing them from
* private ones. But someday that code might get upgraded, and we'd have
* to have a kernel version test here.

* Set the default wal_sync_method to fdatasync. With recent Linux versions,
* xlogdefs.h's normal rules will prefer open_datasync, which (a) doesn't
* perform better and (b) causes outright failures on ext4 data=journal
* filesystems, because those don't support O_DIRECT.
