The position of the last written hint is now tracked by the endpoint
hints manager.
When manager is constructed and no hints are replayed yet, the last
written hint position is initialized to the beginning of a fake segment
with ID corresponding to the current number of milliseconds since the
epoch. This choice makes sure that, in case a new hint sync point is
created before any hints are written, the position recorded for that
hint queue will be larger than all replay positions in segments
currently stored on disk.
