Split XLogCtl->LogwrtResult into separate struct members

After this change we have XLogCtl->logWriteResult and ->logFlushResult.
There's no functional change, other than the fact that the assignment
from shared memory to local is no longer done via struct assignment, but
instead using a macro that copies each member separately.

The current representation is inconvenient going forward; notably, we
would like to add a new member "Copy" (to keep track of the last
position copied into WAL buffers), so the symmetry between the values in
shared memory vs. those in local would be lost.

This also gives us freedom to later change the concurrency model for the
values in shared memory: we can make them use atomics instead of relying
on the info_lck spinlock.
