Обсуждение: [COMMITTERS] pgsql: Remove dedicated B-tree root-split record types.

Remove dedicated B-tree root-split record types.

Since commit 40dae7ec53, which changed the way b-tree page splitting
works, there has been no difference in the handling of root, and non-root
split WAL records. We don't need to distinguish them anymore

If you're worried about the loss of debugging information, note that
usually a root split record will normally be followed by a WAL record to
create the new root page. The root page will also have the BTP_ROOT flag
set on the page itself, and there is a pointer to it from the metapage.

This should have involved a WAL version (XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC) bump, no?
The new code can no longer read old WAL, so it's incompatible.
