Zero padding in replication origen's checkpointed on disk-state.

This seems to be largely cosmetic, avoiding valgrind bleats and the like. The uninitialized padding influences the CRC of the on-disk entry, but because it's also used when verifying the CRC, that doesn't cause spurious failures. Backpatch nonetheless. It's a bit unfortunate that contrib/test_decoding/sql/replorigen.sql doesn't exercise the checkpoint path, but checkpoints are fairly expensive on weaker machines, and we'd have to stop/start for that to be meaningful.
