Hello.

Sometimes, I needed to infer where a past checkpoint make wal segments
unnecessary up to, or just to know the LSN at a past point in
time. But there's no convenient source for that.

The attached small patch enables me (or us) to do that by looking into
server log files.

> LOG: checkpoint complete: wrote 3 buffers (0.0%); 0 WAL file(s) added, 0 removed, 0 recycled; write=0.008 s, sync=0.035 s, total=0.064 s; sync files=4, longest=0.017 s, average=0.009 s; distance=16420 kB, estimate=16420 kB, redo=0/30091D8

Does that make sense?

regards.
