in-complete-split flag which indicates that split has to be finished
for that particular bucket.  The value of these flags are
LH_BUCKET_NEW_PAGE_SPLIT and LH_BUCKET_OLD_PAGE_SPLIT for new and old
bucket respectively.  It is set in hasho_flag in special area of page.
I have slightly expanded the definition in README, but not sure if it
is good idea to mention flags defined in hash.h. Let me know, if still
it is unclear or you want some thing additional to be added in README.

Moved and renamed hashxlog.c to hash_xlog.c to match the name with
corresponding .h file.

Note - This patch is to be applied on top of concurrent hash index v6
