Improve TAP test function PostgresNode::poll_query_until().
Add an optional "expected" argument to override the default assumption
that we're waiting for the query to return "t". This allows replacing
a handwritten polling loop in recovery/t/007_sync_rep.pl with use of
poll_query_until(); AFAICS that's the only remaining ad-hoc polling
loop in our TAP tests.
Change poll_query_until() to probe ten times per second not once per
second. Like some similar changes I've been making recently, the
one-second interval seems to be rooted in ancient traditions rather
than the actual likely wait duration on modern machines. I'd consider
reducing it further if there were a convenient way to spawn just one
psql for the whole loop rather than one per probe attempt.
