wait_for_catchup() has "wait for the standby to reach the target LSN"
semantics. However, the previous polling implementation actually waited for
the primary to observe that position via pg_stat_replication.
7e8aeb9e48 introduced the new WAIT FOR LSN-based implementation, which
just probes the standby.
019_replslot_limit.pl relied on the old side effect: its
"slot state changes to extended/unreserved" subtests inspect
primary-side pg_replication_slots, whose wal_status depends on
restart_lsn, which only advances after the walsender processes a
standby reply. Make the test wait on what it actually needs by
replacing each wait_for_catchup() with
wait_for_slot_catchup('rep1', 'restart', primary->lsn('write')).
