Test improvements for online checksums
This includes a number of smaller fixups to the online checksums test
module which were found during postcommit review and stabilization
work.
* Fix scope increase for PG_TEST_EXTRA: The online checksums tests
have two levels of PG_TEST_EXTRA, checksum and checksums_extended
for extra test runs and test runs with increased randomization.
The logic for increasing the number of test iterations was however
backwards.
* Change stopmode for PITR test: The pitr suite used immediate stop
mode which caused problems on slower machines where the sigquit
would interrupt archive commands leaving partial WAL files behind.
This would then prevent restart. Fix by using fast mode which is
the appropriate mode for the test at hand. Also increase timeouts
to help slower test systems since an expired timeout will incur
the same effect as an immediate standby with a partial WAL left
behind. This issue was observed when running the test suites on
a Raspberry Pi 4 machine.
* Improve logging: The test suite for data checksums use a set of
helper functions in a Perl module to avoid repeating code, this
makes sure that the helper functions do a better job of logging
their test output to make debug easier.
* Remove unused code: wait_for_cluster_crash was used during the
development of online checksums but was never used in any test
which shipped, so remove the function.
* Standby fixes: Ensure no vacuum on pgbench init on standby with
-n to avoid bogus error message in the log, and enable
hot_standby_feedback to prevent queries from getting cancelled
due to recovery on slower systems.
