#10822: Post page is 404 when no post found on static page for homepage

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 On front page configuration, I specify 2 static pages, one for homepage
 (ex: page1), and another for posts page (ex: page2).

 If I have no post, page2 is like a 404 page.

 The $wp_query is well parsed, but on handle_404() call, no test on
 $wp_query->is_posts_page flag is available (like category or tag query).
 The handle_404 test change the $wp_query setting and it's not possible to
 know if we are in posts_page or not(is_404 = true and is_posts_page =
 false).

 is_post_page is not used a lot in the source code, I haven't found an
 is_posts_page() global function.
 So we can had it :

 '''function is_posts_page() {'''
         '''global $wp_query;'''

         '''return ($wp_query->is_posts_page);'''
 '''}'''

 and in handle_404 of wp-includes/classes.php (line 464 on 2.8) change the
 line
 if ( ( is_tag() || is_category() || is_author() ) &&
 $wp_query->get_queried_object() ) {
 by
 if ( ( is_tag() || is_category() || is_author() || '''is_posts_page()''')
 && $wp_query->get_queried_object() ) {

 It's seem that the problem is only available with this configuration. No
 problem if I use same homepage and post_page.
