Andres Freund 691d79a079 Disallow starting server with insufficient wal_level for existing slot.
Previously it was possible to create a slot, change wal_level, and
restart, even if the new wal_level was insufficient for the
slot. That's a problem for both logical and physical slots, because
the necessary WAL records are not generated.

This removes a few tests in newer versions that, somewhat
inexplicably, whether restarting with a too low wal_level worked (a
buggy behaviour!).

Regression tests for recovery and replication
=============================================

This directory contains a test suite for recovery and replication.

Running the tests
=================

NOTE: You must have given the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
Also, to use "make installcheck", you must have built and installed
contrib/test_decoding in addition to the core code.

Run
    make check
or
    make installcheck
You can use "make installcheck" if you previously did "make install".
In that case, the code in the installation tree is tested.  With
"make check", a temporary installation tree is built from the current
sources and then tested.

Either way, this test initializes, starts, and stops several test Postgres
clusters.
