I don't think we can assume checkpoint_completion_target is at all
reliable enough to base a maximum calculation on, assuming anything
above the maximum is cause of concern and something to inform the admins
about.

Assuming checkpoint_completion_target is 1 for maximum purposes, how
about:

        max(2 * checkpoint_segments, wal_keep_segments) + 2 * 
checkpoint_segments + 2
