Use pg_pwrite_zeros() in walmethods.c

This change impacts pg_receivewal and pg_basebackup, for the pre-padding
with zeros of all the new non-compressed WAL segments, so as the code is
more robust on partial writes.  This makes the code consistent with the
backend (XLogFileInitInternal) when wal_init_zeros is enabled for the
WAL segment initialization.
