pg_receivewal_nosync.patch (application/octet-stream) patch

Hi all,

After thinking a bit on the subject, I have decided to submit a patch
to do $subject. This makes pg_receivewal more consistent with
pg_basebackup. This option is mainly useful for testing, something
that becomes way more doable since support for --endpos has been
added.

Unsurprisingly, --synchronous and --no-sync are incompatible options.
Thanks,
