It occurred to me that this could be made better by sigstopping both
walreceiver and walsender, then letting only the latter run; AFAICS this
makes the test stable.  I'll register this on the upcoming commitfest to
let cfbot run it, and if it looks good there I'll get it pushed to
master.  If there's any problem I'll just remove it before beta2 is
stamped.

Subject: [PATCH v3] Add test case for obsoleting slot with active walsender
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The code to signal a running walsender when its reserved WAL size grows
too large is completely uncovered before this commit; this adds coverage
for that case.

This test involves sending SIGSTOP to walsender and walreceiver and
running a checkpoint while advancing WAL, then sending SIGCONT.  There's
no precedent for this coding in Perl tests, and my reading of relevant
manpages says it's likely to fail on Windows.  Because of this, this
test is always skipped on that platform.
