Bonjour Michaël-san,

Here is a proposal for "pg_resetwal".
The implementation basically removes a lot of copy paste and calls the
new update_controlfile function instead. I like removing useless code:-)
The reserwal implementation was doing a rm/create cycle, which was leaving
a small window for losing the controlfile. Not neat.
I do not see the value of *not* fsyncing the control file when writing it,
as it is by definition very precious, so I added a fsync. The server side
branch uses the backend available "pg_fsync", which complies with server
settings there and can do nothing if fsync is disabled.
Maybe the two changes could be committed separately.

Fabien.
