Michael Paquier 065cbfb883 Avoid exposing WAL receiver raw conninfo during timeline jumps
When reusing an existing WAL receiver after it has reached
WALRCV_WAITING for new instructions, RequestXLogStreaming() copied
PrimaryConnInfo into WalRcv->conninfo before switching the state to
WALRCV_RESTARTING.  At that point ready_to_display could still be true,
so pg_stat_wal_receiver could expose the raw connection string,
including sensitive fields, but it should only show the user-displayable
version of the connection string.

WALRCV_RESTARTING does not establish a new connection.  The waiting WAL
receiver reuses its existing connection and only needs a new startpoint
and timeline, so there is no need to copy the raw connection string into
shared memory again.  Let's only copy conninfo when launching a new WAL
receiver after WALRCV_STOPPED, not while waiting for instructions.

This commit adds coverage for the case fixed by this commit to the
timeline-switch test by verifying that the WAL receiver conninfo remains
consistent across the jump.

Backpatch all the way down, as this issue is possible since
pg_stat_wal_receiver has been introduced.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
