Not a review, just a preparatory rebase across some trivially
conflicting changes. I also noticed that
src/test/recovery/t/031_recovery_conflict.pl, which was added two days
after v23 was sent, and which uses allow_in_place_tablespaces, bails out
because of the checks introduced by this patch, so I made the check
routine do nothing in that case.
Anyway, here's v24.

Subject: [PATCH v24] Fix replay of create database records on standby
Crash recovery on standby may encounter missing directories when
replaying create database WAL records. Prior to this patch, the
standby would fail to recover in such a case. However, the
directories could be legitimately missing. Consider a sequence of WAL
records as follows:
CREATE DATABASE
DROP DATABASE
DROP TABLESPACE
If, after replaying the last WAL record and removing the tablespace
directory, the standby crashes and has to replay the create database
record again, the crash recovery must be able to move on.
This patch allows missing tablespaces to be created during recovery
before reaching consistency. The tablespaces are created as real
directories that should not exists but will be removed until reaching
consistency. CheckRecoveryConsistency is responsible to make sure they
have disappeared.
Similar to log_invalid_page mechanism, the GUC ignore_invalid_pages
turns into PANIC errors detected by this patch into WARNING, which
allows continueing recovery.
