Avoid problems with OID wraparound during WAL replay.

Fix a longstanding thinko in replay of NEXTOID and checkpoint records: we
tried to advance nextOid only if it was behind the value in the WAL record,
but the comparison would draw the wrong conclusion if OID wraparound had
occurred since the previous value.  Better to just unconditionally assign
the new value, since OID assignment shouldn't be happening during replay
anyway.

The consequences of a failure to update nextOid would be pretty minimal,
since we have long had the code set up to obtain another OID and try again
if the generated value is already in use.  But in the worst case there
could be significant performance glitches while such loops iterate through
many already-used OIDs before finding a free one.

The odds of a wraparound happening during WAL replay would be small in a
crash-recovery scenario, and the length of any ensuing OID-assignment stall
quite limited anyway.  But neither of these statements hold true for a
replication slave that follows a WAL stream for a long period; its behavior
upon going live could be almost unboundedly bad.  Hence it seems worth
back-patching this fix into all supported branches.

Already fixed in HEAD in commit c6d76d7c82ebebb7210029f7382c0ebe2c558bca.
