Test that vacuum removes tuples older than OldestXmin
If vacuum fails to prune a tuple killed before OldestXmin, it will later
find that tuple dead in lazy_scan_prune() and loop infinitely.
Add a test reproducing this scenario to the recovery suite which creates
a table on a primary, updates the table to generate dead tuples for
vacuum, and then, during the vacuum, uses a replica to force
GlobalVisState->maybe_needed on the primary to move backwards and
precede the value of OldestXmin set at the beginning of vacuuming the
table.
This commit is separate from the fix in case there are test stability
issues.
