Repair longstanding error in btree xlog replay: XLogReadBuffer should be
passed extend = true whenever we are reading a page we intend to reinitialize

current xlog record was made and before the crash we're trying to recover
from.  These two thinkos appear to explain both of the old bug reports
discussed here:
