feae7f39c1 Support read-only nodes
Change 'zenith.signal' file to a human-readable format, similar to
backup_label. It can contain a "PREV LSN: %X/%X" line, or a special
value to indicate that it's OK to start with invalid LSN ('none'), or
that it's a read-only node and generating WAL is forbidden
('invalid').

The 'zenith pg create' and 'zenith pg start' commands now take a node
name parameter, separate from the branch name. If the node name is not
given, it defaults to the branch name, so this doesn't break existing
scripts.

If you pass "foo@<lsn>" as the branch name, a read-only node anchored
at that LSN is created. The anchoring is performed by setting the
'recovery_target_lsn' option in the postgresql.conf file, and putting
the server into standby mode with 'standby.signal'.

We no longer store the synthetic checkpoint record in the WAL segment.
The postgres startup code has been changed to use the copy of the
checkpoint record in the pg_control file, when starting in zenith
mode.

d4eed61f57 Refactor code for parsing and creating postgresql.conf.
There's surely more that could be done, but this makes it a bit more
readable at least.
