One last thing: in XLogRecordAssemble(), could you enforce the value
of info at the beginning of the routine when wal_consistency[rmid] is
true? And then use the value of info to decide if include_image is
true or not? The idea here is to allow callers of XLogInsert() to pass
by themselves XLR_CHECK_CONSISTENCY and still have consistency checks
enabled for a given record even if wal_consistency is false for the
rmgr of the record happening. This would be potentially useful for
extension and feature developers when debugging some stuff, for some
builds compiled with a DEBUG flag, or whatever.
