Stabilize 019_replslot_limit

The test assumed that advancing WAL would lead to a checkpoint that
invalidates the obsolete replication slot. If a checkpoint that started
before the WAL switch completes first, the following checkpoint can be
skipped as idle, so the expected walsender termination is not logged.

Force a CHECKPOINT in a background psql session after advancing WAL, so
the slot invalidation is exercised deterministically.

This has been observed on buildfarm members alligator and partridge:

Backpatch to all supported versions.
