Adds functions extern LocalSetXLogInsertNotAllowed() and
LocalSetXLogInsertCheckRecovery() to set the local variable
LocalXLogInsert respectively to 0 and -1.

These functions are declared as extern for future need in
the demote patch.

Function LocalSetXLogInsertAllowed() already exists and
declared as static as it is not needed outside of xlog.h.

You ran only a single execution of a 50K-line script?  This test
case feels a little bit artificial.  Having said that ...

... yes, O(N^2) is not nice.  It has to be possible to do better.

Yeah, we do rely on yylineno in bootscanner.l and ecpg, but not
elsewhere; not sure if there's a performance reason for that.
I see that plpgsql has a hand-rolled version (look for cur_line_num)
that perhaps could be stolen.

Ah: the flex manual specifically calls out "%option yylineno"
as something that has a moderate performance cost.  So that's
why we don't use it except in non-performance-critical scanners.

Now, it could be argued that pgbench's script scanner doesn't
rise to that level of performance-criticalness, especially not
if we're paying the cost of counting newlines some other way.
I'm not excited about doing a lot of performance analysis here
to decide that.  I think we could steal plpgsql's idea to
keep the code structure basically the same while avoiding the
O(N^2) repeat scans, and that should be enough.
