This is normal operation.  I'm not sure why we have it as LOG level and
not DEBUG-something.  I suppose the messages are slightly useful to give
an idea of how fast you are using up log segments, but now that
wal_files isn't a separately tweakable parameter it's not obvious why
the average DBA would care.
