In thinking about how to communicate to users about reducing continuous
archiving storage requirements, I realized we don't mention pglesslog in
our official documentation.

The attached patch documents how to use pglesslog and gzip/gunzip to
reduce storage requirements. Comments?

Also, I assume pg_lesslog removes the padding we use to make all WAL
files 16MB, effectively doing the function of clearxlogtail too, right?
