Got too late, but rebased.. The contents of the two patches in the
last version was a bit shuffled but they are fixed.

Subject: [PATCH v25 1/2] In-place table persistence change

Even though ALTER TABLE SET LOGGED/UNLOGGED does not require data
rewriting, currently it runs heap rewrite which causes large amount of
file I/O.  This patch makes the command run without heap rewrite.
Addition to that, SET LOGGED while wal_level > minimal emits WAL using
XLOG_FPI instead of massive number of HEAP_INSERT's, which should be
smaller.

Also this allows for the cleanup of files left behind in the crash of
the transaction that created it.
