Subject: [PATCH v2] pg_rewind: use flush lsn to set minRecoveryPoint.

Currently pg_rewind uses pg_current_wal_insert_lsn() to set
minRecoveryPoint. The minRecoveryPoint is expected to be a
lsn points to a xlog record end lsn + 1, but the return value
of pg_current_wal_insert_lsn() is the current wal insert lsn.
They are different when at a xlog page boundary, e.g., when
the former points to the begin of a xlog page, the latter
will skip the xlog page header. This can lead to a standby
cannot reach consistent when the primary is idle.

To fix it, use pg_current_wal_flush_lsn() instead. It's safe
because we query flush lsn at the end of rewind, so all copied
pages should have lsn <= flush lsn.
