from the WAL data, don't bother to physically read it; just have bufmgr.c
return a zeroed-out buffer instead.  This speeds recovery significantly,
and also avoids unnecessary failures when a page-to-be-overwritten has corrupt
page headers on disk.  This replaces a former kluge that accomplished the
latter by pretending zero_damaged_pages was always ON during WAL recovery;
which was OK when the kluge was put in, but is unsafe when restoring a WAL
log that was written with full_page_writes off.
