Fix pg_xlogdump so that it handles cross-page XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD record.
Previously pg_xlogdump failed to dump the contents of the WAL file
if the file starts with the continuation WAL record which spans
more than one pages. Since pg_xlogdump assumed that the continuation
record always fits on a page, it could not find the valid WAL record to
start reading from in that case.
This patch changes pg_xlogdump so that it can handle a continuation
WAL record which crosses a page boundary and find the valid record
to start reading from.
Back-patch to 9.3 where pg_xlogdump was introduced.
