I don't see much the point as this would fail to compile anyway, and
that's not project-style.  Note that we have already a clear
separation here between the backend and the frontend code here as
xlogarchive.h is backend-only and fe_archive.h is frontend-only.

All this makes sense, and also note the same formatting issue in
parsexlog.c for RestoreArchivedFile().  A run of pgindent was
missing.

Thanks, committed 0001 after fixing the order of the headers.  One
patch left.
