I locally, on a heavily modified branch (AIO support), started to get
consistent failures in this test. I *suspect*, but am not sure, that
it's the test's fault, not the fault of modifications.
As far as I can tell, after the pg_rewind call, there's no guarantee
that node_c has fully caught up to the 'in A, after C was promoted'
insertion on node a. Thus at the check_query() I sometimes get just 'in
A, before promotion' back.
After adding a wait that problem seems to be fixed. Here's what I did
