The attached proposed patch removes some ancient infrastructure for manually testing hot standby. I doubt anyone has used this in years, because AFAICS there is nothing here that's not done better by the src/test/recovery TAP tests. (Or if there is, we ought to migrate it into the TAP tests.)
I looked into this some time ago and concluded that this test contains a significant amount of testing that isn't obviously done anywhere else. I don't have the notes anymore, and surely some things have progressed since, but I wouldn't just throw the old test suite away without actually checking.
