Alvaro Herrera 82c83b3372 Fix logical_decoding_timelines test crashes 
In the test_slot_timelines test module, we were abusing passing NULL
values which was received as zeroes in x86, but this breaks in ARM
(buildfarm member hamster) by crashing instead.  Fix the breakage by
marking these functions as STRICT; the InvalidXid value that was
previously implicit in NULL values (on x86 at least) can now be passed
as 0.  Failing to follow the fmgr protocol to check for NULLs beforehand
was causing ARM to fail, as evidenced by segmentation faults in
buildfarm member hamster.

In order to use the new functionality in the test script, use COALESCE
in the right spot to avoid forwarding NULL values.

This was diagnosed from the hamster crash by Craig Ringer, who also
proposed a different patch (checking for NULL values explicitely in the
C function code, and keeping the non-strictness in the C functions).
I decided to go with this approach instead.

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

This directory contains a test suite for recovery and replication.

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

    make check

NOTE: This creates a temporary installation, and some tests may
create one or multiple nodes, be they master or standby(s) for the
purpose of the tests.

NOTE: This requires the --enable-tap-tests argument to configure.
