Dead code in adminpack
I've noticed that convert_and_check_filename() is always passed false for the
"logAllowed" argument - someone probably forgot to remove the argument when it
was decided that log files are no longer accepted. If the argument was removed,
the function would become a bit simpler, see the patch.

Indeed, and actually I don't see when this codepath was reachable.
Patch LGTM.

This routine was originally named absClusterPath(), but even at its
origin point (fe59e56) this argument has never been used. So no
objections to clean up that.
