I was able to simplify it quite a bit, by using only one standby for both test
scenarios.

This test case verify that after a timeline switch, if we resume from a
previous state we will archive:
 - segments from the old timeline
 - segments from the new timeline
 - the timeline history file itself.

I chose to check against a full segment from the previous timeline, but it
would have been possible to check that the latest timeline segment was
partial. I chose not not, in the unlikely event we promote at an exact segment
boundary. I don't think it matters much, since partial wal files are already
covered by other tests.
