Handle interleavings between CREATE DATABASE steps and base backup.
Restoring a base backup taken in the middle of CreateDirAndVersionFile()
or write_relmap_file() would lose the function's effects. The symptom
was absence of the database directory, PG_VERSION file, or
pg_filenode.map. If missing the directory, recovery would fail. Either
missing file would not fail recovery but would render the new database
unusable. Fix CreateDirAndVersionFile() with the transam/README "action
first and then write a WAL entry" strategy. That has a side benefit of
moving filesystem mutations out of a critical section, reducing the ways
to PANIC. Fix the write_relmap_file() call with a lock acquisition, so
it interacts with checkpoints like non-CREATE DATABASE calls do.
Back-patch to v15, where commit 9c08aea6a3090a396be334cc58c511edab05776a
introduced STRATEGY=WAL_LOG and made it the default.
