I think this is a nice additional safeguard to have, making streamed
backups more robust. I'd like to add this to 9.1, but it required an
extra field to be added to the control file, so it would force an
initdb. It's probably not worth that. Or, we could sneak in the extra
boolean field to some currently unused pad space in the ControlFile struct.
How about making the new backup_label field optional? If absent, assume
current behavior.
That's how I actually did it in the patch. However, the problem wrt.
requiring initdb is not the new field in backup_label, it's the new
field in the control file.
