## Problem

See https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C06F5UJH601/p1705731304237889

Adding 1 to xid in `update_next_xid` can cause overflow in debug mode.
0xffffffff is valid transaction ID.

## Summary of changes

Use `wrapping_add`

This module contains utilities for working with PostgreSQL file formats. It's a collection of structs that are auto-generated from the PostgreSQL header files using bindgen, and Rust functions to read and manipulate them.

There are also a bunch of constants in pg_constants.rs that are copied from various PostgreSQL headers, rather than auto-generated. They mostly should be auto-generated too, but that's a TODO.

The PostgreSQL on-disk file format is not portable across different CPU architectures and operating systems. It is also subject to change in each major PostgreSQL version. Currently, this module supports PostgreSQL v14, v15 and v16: bindings and code that depends on them are version-specific. This code is organized in modules postgres_ffi::v14, postgres_ffi::v15 and postgres_ffi::v16. Version independent code is explicitly exported into shared postgres_ffi.

TODO: Currently, there is also some code that deals with WAL records in pageserver/src/waldecoder.rs. That should be moved into this module. The rest of the codebase should not have intimate knowledge of PostgreSQL file formats or WAL layout, that knowledge should be encapsulated in this module.
