Paul, the patch set still needs some work, so I am switching it as
waiting on author. I am pretty sure that we had better have a
fallback implementation of copy_file_range() in src/port/, and that we
are going to need an extra switch in pg_rewind to allow users to
bypass copy_file_range()/EXDEV if they do a local rewind operation
across different FSes with a kernel < 5.3.
