Michael Paquier e61efafcb8 Fix race in TAP test 002_archiving.pl when restoring history file
This test, introduced in df86e52, uses a second standby to check that
it is able to remove correctly RECOVERYHISTORY and RECOVERYXLOG at the
end of recovery.  This standby uses the archives of the primary to
restore its contents, with some of the archive's contents coming from
the first standby previously promoted.  In slow environments, it was
possible that the test did not check what it should, as the history file
generated by the promotion of the first standby may not be stored yet on
the archives the second standby feeds on.  So, it could be possible that
the second standby selects an incorrect timeline, without restoring a
history file at all.

This commits adds a wait phase to make sure that the history file
required by the second standby is archived before this cluster is
created.  This relies on poll_query_until() with pg_stat_file() and an
absolute path, something not supported in REL_10_STABLE.

While on it, this adds a new test to check that the history file has
been restored by looking at the logs of the second standby.  This
ensures that a RECOVERYHISTORY, whose removal needs to be checked,
is created in the first place.  This should make the test more robust.

This test has been introduced by df86e52, but it came in light as an
effect of the bug fixed by acf1dd42, where the extra restore_command
calls made the test much slower.

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
