Move SQL tests of pg_stat_io for WAL data to recovery test 029_stats_restart

Three tests in the main regression test suite are proving to not be
portable across multiple runs on a deployed cluster as stats of
pg_stat_io are reset. Problems happen for tests on:
- Writes of WAL in the init context, when creating a WAL segment.
- Syncs of WAL in the init context, when creating a WAL segment.
- Reads of WAL in the normal context, requiring a WAL record to be read.
For a `make check`, this could rely on the checkpoint record read by the
startup process when starting the cluster, something that is not going
to work for a deployed node.

Two of the three tests are moved to the recovery TAP test
029_stats_restart, where we already check the consistency of stats
data. The test for syncs is dropped as TAP can run with fsync=off. The
other two are checked with some data from a freshly-initialized cluster.

Per discussion with Tom Lane, Bertrand Drouvot and Nazir Bilal Yavuz.
