It should always be the case that the last checkpoint record is still readable, because otherwise, a crash would leave us in a situation from which we can't recover. Therefore the test removed by this patch should always succeed. For it to fail, either there has to be a serious bug in the code someplace, or the user has to be manually modifying pg_wal while crash recovery is running. If it's the first one, we should fix the bug. If it's the second one, they should stop, or anyway they're doing so at their own risk. In neither case does a full checkpoint instead of an end-of-recovery record seem like a clear winner. Furthermore, rarely-taken code paths are particularly vulnerable to bugs, so let's simplify by getting rid of this one.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
