Removing the xloginsert.h in xlog.h would need us to add xloginsert.h
in more areas. And also, it might break any non-core extensions that
includes just xlog.h and gets xloginsert.h. Instead I prefer removing
xloginsert.h if there's xlog.h included.
Attaching v2 patch removing xloginsert.h in a few more places.
