Fix ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE for unlogged relations.
Changing the tablespace of an unlogged relation did not WAL log the creation and content of the init fork. Thus, after a standby is promoted, unlogged relation cannot be accessed anymore, with errors like: ERROR: 58P01: could not open file "pg_tblspc/...": No such file or directory Additionally the init fork was not synced to disk, independent of the configured wal_level, a relatively small durability risk. Investigation of that problem also brought to light that, even for permanent relations, the creation of !main forks was not WAL logged, i.e. no XLOG_SMGR_CREATE record were emitted. That mostly turns out not to be a problem, because these files were created when the actual relation data is copied; nonexistent files are not treated as an error condition during replay. But that doesn't work for empty files, and generally feels a bit haphazard. Luckily, outside init and main forks, empty forks don't occur often or are not a problem. Add the required WAL logging and syncing to disk.
