Rename logical decoding's pg_llog directory to pg_logical.
The old name wasn't very descriptive as of actual contents of the directory, which are historical snapshots in the snapshots/ subdirectory and mappingdata for rewritten tuples in mappings/. There's been a fair amount of discussion what would be a good name. I'm settling for pg_logical because it's likely that further data around logical decoding and replication will need saving in the future.
Also add the missing entry for the directory into storage.sgml's list of PGDATA contents.
Bumps catversion as the data directories won't be compatible.
Shouldn't this commit be backpatched as well to REL9_4_STABLE. I am failing to see the point of having the folder used for logical decoding named pg_llog in 9.4 and pg_logical in 9.5. This is creating inconsistencies between major versions.
