These facilities were originally in the recovery TAP test 039_end_of_wal.pl. A follow-up bug fix with a TAP test doing similar WAL manipulations requires them, and all these had better not be duplicated due to their complexity. The routine names are tweaked to use "wal" more consistently, similarly to the existing "advance_wal". In v14 and v13, the new routines are moved to PostgresNode.pm. 039_end_of_wal.pl is updated to use the refactored routines, without changing its coverage.
