The WAL file name consists of timeline, segment set/segment block and
segment, Once the segment (the last 8 characters of the file name)
reaches 000000FE, the next file will have a segment 00000000 but
characters 9-16 will increment their value to reflect this wraparound.
So it's not any more significant that 1 added to 99 results in it
becoming 00 with a 1 before it.
