This commit improves the tests of pg_walinspect on a few things:
- Remove aggregates for queries that should fail. If the code is
reworked in such a way that the behavior of these queries is changed,
we would get more input from them, written this way.
- Expect at least one record reported in the valid queries doing scans
across ranges, rather than zero records.
- Adjust a few comments, for consistency.

\dx was used on pg_walinspect to list its objects in 1.0 but the names
of the objects in this version do not have an order that is always
guaranteed depending on the collation used. Rather than append a
COLLATE clause in the query of \dx, this tweaks the regression test to
produce an output whose order is guaranteed.

This commit reworks a bit the set-returning functions of pg_walinspect,
making them more flexible regarding their end LSN:
- pg_get_wal_records_info()
- pg_get_wal_stats()
- pg_get_wal_block_info()
The end LSNs given to these functions is now handled so as a value
higher than the current LSN of the cluster (insert LSN for a primary, or
replay LSN for a standby) does not raise an error, giving more
flexibility to monitoring queries. Instead, the functions return
results up to the current LSN, as found at the beginning of each
function call.
As an effect of that, pg_get_wal_records_info_till_end_of_wal() and
pg_get_wal_stats_till_end_of_wal() are now removed from 1.1, as the
existing, equivalent functions are able to offer the same
possibilities.

The regression tests of pg_walinspect are reworked on a few aspects:
- Reorganization on the validation checks done for the start and end
LSNs on the six SQL functions currently available in 1.1.
- Addition of a few patterns doing bound checks for invalid start LSN,
invalid end LSN, and failures in reading LSN positions, for anything
that's been missing.
- Use of a consistent style across the whole, limiting blank lines
across the queries.
- Addition of a new test script for upgrades. For the time being, this
is straight-forward with a check that the upgrade from 1.0 works
correctly. This will be made more complicated once the interface of
this extension is reworked in 1.1 with a follow-up patch.
Most of the contents of this commit are extracted from a larger patch by
the same author, largely reorganized by me to minimize the differences
with the upcoming work aimed to lift the bound checks on the input LSNs
used by the functions of this extension.
