Alexander Korotkov 4464fddf7b Improve runtime and output of tests for replication slots checkpointing.
The TAP tests that verify logical and physical replication slot behavior
during checkpoints (046_checkpoint_logical_slot.pl and
047_checkpoint_physical_slot.pl) inserted two batches of 2 million rows each,
generating approximately 520 MB of WAL.  On slow machines, or when compiled
with '-DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE -DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE', this caused the
tests to run for 8-9 minutes and occasionally time out, as seen on the
buildfarm animal prion.

This commit modifies the mentioned tests to utilize the $node->advance_wal()
function, thereby reducing runtime. Once we do not use the generated data,
the proposed function is a good alternative, which cuts the total wall-clock
run time.

While here, remove superfluous '\n' characters from several note() calls;
these appeared literally in the build-farm logs and looked odd.  Also, remove
excessive 'shared_preload_libraries' GUC from the config and add a check for
'injection_points' extension availability.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
