When you create a new base backup, you shouldn't need any files archived

If so, this fix is not enough, since findNewestTimeLine() is
still based on the premise that *all* the history files exist.
So, as Simon says, we should clearly say that a history file
must not be deleted from the archive. Or, we should create
a new solution.
The probe in findNewestTimeLine() initialized to recovery target
timeline + 1. It doesn't require history files for any old timelines to
be present. The purpose of findNewestTimeLine() is to ensure that if you
e.g recover to a point in time in timeline 5, and there's already WAL
files for timelines 6 and 7 in the archive, we pick a unique timeline id.
