Mostly. I don't see a reason for the use of the stringinfo. And I think
LogCheckpointStart() should be dealt with similarly.
I'd just make it a restartpoint ? _("restartpoint") : _("checkpoint") or such
in the argument? Then translators don't need to translate the two messages
separately.
Or we could just not translate restartpoint/checkpoint - after all we don't
translate the flags in LogCheckpointStart() either. But on balance I'd lean
towards the above.

Both seem still very long. I still am doubtful this level of detail is
appropriate. Seems more like a thing for a tracepoint or such. How about just
printing the time for the logical decoding operations in aggregate, without
breaking down into files, adding LSNs etc?
