A comment about v3-0001.

- * If true, use long segment filenames formed from lower 48 bits of the

- * pg_xact/1234.
+ * If true, use long segment filenames. Use short filenames otherwise.
+ * See SlruFileName().

We're losing some details here even if SlruFileName() has some
explanations, because one would need to read through the snprintf's
04X to know that short file names include 4 characters. I'm OK to
mention SlruFileName() rather than duplicate the knowledge here, but
SlruFileName() should also be updated to mention the same level of
details with some examples of file names.
