Avoid deleting critical WAL segments during pg_rewind
Previously, in unlucky cases, it was possible for pg_rewind to remove
certain WAL segments from the rewound demoted primary.  In particular
this happens if those files have been marked for archival (i.e., their
.ready files were created) but not yet archived; the newly promoted node
no longer has such files because of them having been recycled, but they
are likely critical for recovery in the demoted node.  If pg_rewind
removes them, recovery is not possible anymore.

Fix this by maintaining a hash table of files in this situation in the
scan that looks for a checkpoint, which the decide_file_actions phase
can consult so that it knows to preserve them.

Backpatch to 14.  The problem also exists in 13, but that branch was not
blessed with commit eb00f1d4bf, so this patch is difficult to apply
there.  Users of older releases will just have to continue to be extra
careful when rewinding.
