That works for 020_pg_receivewal.  I wonder if there are also tests
that stream a bit of WAL first and then do wait_for_catchup that were
previously benefiting from the 100ms-after-startup message by
scheduling luck (as in, that was usually enough for replay)?  I might
go and teach Cluster.pm to log how much time is wasted in
wait_for_catchup to get some observability, and then try to figure out
how to optimise it properly.  We could perhaps put the 100ms duct tape
back temporarily though, if necessary.
