pgsql: Make DROP DATABASE command generate less WAL records.

Make DROP DATABASE command generate less WAL records.

Previously DROP DATABASE generated as many XLOG_DBASE_DROP WAL records
as the number of tablespaces that the database to drop uses. This caused
the scans of shared_buffers as many times as the number of the tablespaces
during recovery because WAL replay of one XLOG_DBASE_DROP record needs
that full scan. This could make the recovery time longer especially
when shared_buffers is large.

This commit changes DROP DATABASE so that it generates only one
XLOG_DBASE_DROP record, and registers the information of all the tablespaces
into it. Then, WAL replay of XLOG_DBASE_DROP record needs full scan of
shared_buffers only once, and which may improve the recovery performance.

Fujii-san, you have forgotten to bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC in
xlog_internal.h?

Thanks for pointing out that! Since the format of XLOG_DBASE_DROP WAL
record was changed, XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC must be bumped. Will do that.
