Even if the checks are duplicated (dependency could be documented as
well), it would make sense to me to plant a check of XLogNeedsFlush()
inside XLogFlush(), I think.  I have not tried if some parts of the
tests blow up when trying to do that even after switching
XLogNeedsFlush() to check if WAL inserts are allowed rather than if we
are in recovery.
