Fix a random failure in 038_save_logical_slots_shutdown.pl.

Amit Kapila · Amit Kapila · commit 0b84f5c419a3 · 2024-03-13T08:33:26.000+05:30
The test ensures that all the WAL on the publisher is sent to the subscriber before shutdown by comparing the confirmed_flush_lsn of the associated slot with the shutdown_checkpoint WAL location. But if the shutdown_checkpoint location falls into a new page in the WAL then the check won't work. So, ensure that the shutdown_checkpoint WAL record doesn't fall into a new page.
