Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] Add SQL-path test for read_local_xlog_page_guts()
 timeline race

Extend the injection-point test in 035_standby_logical_decoding.pl to
also cover the SQL-callable decoding path (pg_logical_slot_peek_changes)
which exercises read_local_xlog_page_guts().

The test uses the same promotion and injection point as the walsender
test: a background psql session is connected before promotion, then
issues pg_logical_slot_peek_changes while startup is paused at the
injection point.
