Detect when a checkpoint is modified in a smarter way.

Previously, the WAL receiver we would make a decoded copy of the current
Checkpoint before each WAL record, and compare it with the Checkpoint
after the record has been processed. If it has changed, the checkpoint
relish is updated in the repository. That's somewhat expensive, the
Checkpoint::encode() function is visible in 'perf' profile. Change that
so that we set a flag whenever the Checkpoint struct is modified, so that
we dont need to compare the whole struct anymore.
