4035cd5d4 added wal_compress=lz4 and
e9537321a added wal_compress=zstd
Since 4035cd5d4, pg_waldump has shown compression info (and walinspect
shows the same since 2258e76f9).
But if you try to replay WAL on a server which wasn't compiled with
support for the requisite compression methods, it's a bit crummy that it
doesn't include in the error message the reason *why* it failed to
restore the image, if that's caused by the missing compression method.
This hunk was from my patch in June, 2021, but wasn't included in the
final patches. This would include the compression info algorithm: 1)
when failing to apply WAL in rm_redo_error_callback(); and, 2) in
wal_debug.

XLOG/FPI_FOR_HINT: ; blkref #0: rel 1663/16888/164320567, blk 8186 FPW,
compression method: zstd
In addition to cases where someone re/compiles postgres locally, I guess this
would also improve the situation for PITR and standbys, which might reasonably
be run on a different OS, with different OS packages, or with postgres compiled
separately.
