pgsql: Reduce overhead of renaming archive status files.

Reduce overhead of renaming archive status files.

Presently, archive status files are durably renamed from .ready to
.done to indicate that a file has been archived.  Persisting this
rename to disk accounts for a significant amount of the overhead
associated with archiving.  While durably renaming the file
prevents re-archiving in most cases, archive commands and libraries
must already gracefully handle attempts to re-archive the last
archived file after a crash (e.g., a crash immediately after
archive_command exits but before the server renames the status
file).

This change reduces the amount of overhead associated with
archiving by using rename() instead of durable_rename() to rename
the archive status files.  As a consequence, the server is more
likely to attempt to re-archive files after a crash, but as noted
above, archive commands and modules are already expected to handle
this.  It is also possible that the server will attempt to re-
archive files that have been removed or recycled, but the archiver
already handles this, too.
