I've been wondering what obscure hazards these "tombstone" (for want
of a better word) files guard against, besides the one described in
the comments for mdunlink().  I've been  thinking about various
schemes that can be summarised as "put the tombstones somewhere else",
but first... this is probably a stupid question, but what would break
if we just ... turned all this stuff off when wal_level is high enough
(as it is by default)?
