Subject: [PATCH v3] Improve runtime and output of tests for replication slots
 checkpointing.

The TAP tests that verify logical and physical replication slot behavior
during checkpoints (046_checkpoint_logical_slot.pl and
047_checkpoint_physical_slot.pl) inserted two batches of 2 million rows each,
generating approximately 520 MB of WAL.  On slow machines, or when compiled
with '-DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE -DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE', this caused the
tests to run for 8-9 minutes and occasionally time out, as seen on the
buildfarm animal prion.

Reduce each INSERT to 50k rows of wider data, which yields approximately
5 segments of WAL.  This volume is still sufficient to advance the slot to
the next segment and exercise the code paths under test, but it cuts
the total wall-clock run time.

While here, remove superfluous '\n' characters from several note() calls;
these appeared literally in the build-farm logs and looked odd.  Also, remove
excessive 'shared_preload_libraries' GUC from the config and add a check for
'injection_points' extension availability.
