Thought: even when it's off, the CRC had better be computed for
shutdown-checkpoint records. Else there's no way to turn it on even
with a postmaster restart --- unless we accept the idea of poking a hole
in the normal mode. (Which I still dislike, and even more so if the
special value is zero. Almost any other value would be safer than zero.)
On the whole, though, I still don't want to put this in. I don't think
Simon has thought it through sufficiently, and we haven't even seen any
demonstration of a big speedup.
(Another hole in the implementation as given: pg_resetxlog.)
