On second thought, it's ok even if the counters like wal_records get overflowed.
Because they are always used to calculate the diff between the previous and
current counters. Even when the current counters are overflowed and
the previous ones are not, WalUsageAccumDiff() seems to return the right
diff of them. If this understanding is right, I'd withdraw my comment and
it's ok to use "long" type for those counters. Thought?
