OK, I think this is where we're seeing things differently. The
summarizer doesn't need a CHECKPOINT_REDO record in the segment being
archived. Rather, we need a CHECKPOINT_REDO record somewhere after the
WAL that we want summarized. In this case, the WAL we want summarized
is generated by the pg_switch_wal() call.
