I think it makes sense in the long term to separate things, even if we
don't go out of our ways in the current patch to clean all existing
uses. It's fairly simple for the case at hand (attached). With this
there are a couple of files that don't need storage.h anymore (only
storage_xlog.h). Not a mind-boggling change, I admit.
