Re: PostgreSQL 18.6/17.11: standby PANIC on restart after VM truncation

Hi Shihao,

cfbot says v3 needs a rebase.  0001 and 0002 still apply to master,
but the test's number is now taken: 12f866cd5f and cc33773482 added
058_shutdown_crash_restart.pl and 059_remote_apply_status_interval.pl
to src/test/recovery.  With the test renamed to
060_vm_clear_truncate.pl, the series applies to master (16b94c4012)
and the test passes.

As you were going to fold the heap_xlog_visible() wording for 17 and
18 into the next version, this may be a good time for v4.

Regards,
Rahul Yadav
