Move routines to manipulate WAL into PostgreSQL::Test::Cluster

These facilities were originally in the recovery TAP test
039_end_of_wal.pl.  A follow-up bug fix with a TAP test doing similar
WAL manipulations requires them, and all these had better not be
duplicated due to their complexity.  The routine names are tweaked to
use "wal" more consistently, similarly to the existing "advance_wal".

In v14 and v13, the new routines are moved to PostgresNode.pm.
039_end_of_wal.pl is updated to use the refactored routines, without
changing its coverage.
