Andrew Dunstan d380ec9891 Allow TestLib::slurp_file to skip contents, and use as needed
In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in
PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the
logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log
file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which
does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and
then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating
contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the
same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function,
which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before
starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.

Backpatch to all live branches.

Michael Paquier, slightly modified by me.

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

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

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

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

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
