Fix uninitialized value in segno calculation

alvherre · alvherre · commit 794e8e32bb5a · 2020-07-13T13:49:50.000-04:00
Remove previous hack in KeepLogSeg that added a case to deal with a (badly represented) invalid segment number. This was added for the sake of GetWALAvailability. But it's not needed if in that function we initialize the segment number to be retreated to the currently being written segment, so do that instead. Per valgrind-running buildfarm member skink, and some sparc64 animals. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1724648.1594230917@sss.pgh.pa.us
