We have two places to use the 'junk_len', one is when we show the
detail record information, another is when we statistics the percent
of all kind of wal record kinds(by --stat=record). The second place
will not run the xlog_desc(), so it's not a good chance to do the thing.
I am still can not understand why it can't adapted to change the
signature of XLogDumpRecordLen(), maybe we can add a new function
to caculate the 'junk_len' and rename the 'junk_len' as 'skiped_size' or
'switched_size'?
