Subject: [PATCH v12 3/4] 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 adds mechanism similar to invalid page hash table, to track
missing directories during crash recovery.  If all the missing
directory references are matched with corresponding drop records at
the end of crash recovery, the standby can safely enter archive
recovery.

Bug identified by Paul Guo.
