It would prevent someone from adding typedefs and any other common
definitions into xlogarchive.h in the future, leading to the accidental
inclusion of both xlogarchive.h and fe_archive.h in the same time.
I don't see much the point as this would fail to compile anyway, and
that's not project-style.  Note that we have already a clear
separation here between the backend and the frontend code here as
xlogarchive.h is backend-only and fe_archive.h is frontend-only.

Why is fe_archive.c in src/common/ and not in src/fe_utils/? It is not "common" to frontend and backend.

It actually defines functions that clash with functions in the backend, so this seems doubly wrong.
