As proposed in the patch, the first ReadPageInternal() reads 
SizeOfXLogShortPHD worth of data (right?), so we should have access to
XLogPageHeaderData.xlp_rem_len before attempting the second
ReadPageInternal() worth Min(total_len - gotlen + SizeOfXLogShortPHD,
XLOG_BLCKSZ) of data.  The check that fails with a "invalid contrecord
length %u" relies on xlp_rem_len, total_len, RecPtr and gotlen.  We
know all this information before the second ReadPageInternal().
