Michael Paquier 7e7059abfd Disable commit timestamps during bootstrap
Attempting to use commit timestamps during bootstrapping leads to an
assertion failure, that can be reached for example with an initdb -c
that enables track_commit_timestamp.  It makes little sense to register
a commit timestamp for a BootstrapTransactionId, so let's disable the
activation of the module in this case.

This problem has been independently reported once by each author of this
commit.  Each author has proposed basically the same patch, relying on
IsBootstrapProcessingMode() to skip the use of commit_ts during
bootstrap.  The test addition is a suggestion by me, and is applied down
to v16.

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
