OK, I see. We create an empty xlog on shutdown so that we can find out
the instance vclock on recovery without rescanning the last xlog. This
is needed for replica rebootstrap functionality.

Since recover_xlog() doesn't check LSN order, I guess we could drop
this test case altogether then - anyway, the primary application of
this patch is replication, not local recovery. Well, let's leave it
since it's already implemented and works well.

Thanks for addressing all my comments. I pushed the patch to 1.10.
