Adjust WAL code so that checkpoints truncate the xlog at the previous

checkpoint's redo pointer, not its undo pointer, per discussion in
pghackers a few days ago.  No point in hanging onto undo information
until we have the ability to do something with it --- and this solves
a rather large problem with log space for long-running transactions.
Also, change all calls of write() to detect the case where write
returned a count less than requested, but failed to set errno.
Presume that this situation indicates ENOSPC, and give the appropriate
error message, rather than a random message associated with the previous
value of errno.
