Re: BUG #2488: backup history file is archived doubly

Oooh, good catch.  The cleanest solution would be to modify
RemoveOldBackupHistory so that it explicitly skips the current entry.
But I'm strongly tempted to just remove the code in pg_stop_backup,
and document that RemoveOldBackupHistory gets the job done (perhaps
renaming it).
