I'm for it if we can find a less messy way of dealing with the
platform-specific-format-code issue.  I don't want to be plugging
UINT64_FORMAT into string literals in a pile of places.

Personally I think that a function returning a static string
buffer is probably good enough for this.  If there are places
where we need to print more than one XLogRecPtr value in a message,
we could have two of them.  (Yeah, it's ugly, but less so than
dealing with platform-specific format codes everywhere.)
