Tom Lane 2710ccd782 Reduce wal_retrieve_retry_interval in applicable TAP tests.
By default, wal_retrieve_retry_interval is five seconds, which is far
more than is needed in any of our TAP tests, leaving the test cases
just twiddling their thumbs for significant stretches.  Moreover,
because it's so large, we get basically no testing of the retry-before-
master-is-ready code path.  Hence, make PostgresNode::init set up
wal_retrieve_retry_interval = '500ms' as part of its customization of
test clusters' postgresql.conf.  This shaves quite a few seconds off
the runtime of the recovery TAP tests.

Back-patch into 9.6.  We have wal_retrieve_retry_interval in 9.5,
but the test infrastructure isn't there.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
