Agree those are perfectly good question to ask on -general. (but on
hackers it looks excessive)
Rajib: this is relative to initdb, it produces one key to be able to
check later if postgresql is restoring the good files.

/*
* Unique system identifier --- to ensure we match up xlog files with the

*/
)
