pg_xact_status() premises that XIDs obtained by
pg_current_xact_id(_if_assigned)() are persistent beyond a crash. But
XIDs are not guaranteed to go beyond WAL buffers before commit and
thus XIDs may vanish if server crashes before commit. This patch
guarantees the XID shown by the functions to be flushed out to disk.

Small nitpicks:

1. The test names generated by check_slots_conflicting_status() start
with a capital letter, while most other test names start with a
lower-case letter.

2. The function is called 7 times, 6 with a true argument and 1 with a
false argument, but the test name only depends on whether the argument
is true or false, so we get the same test name 6 times. Maybe there's
not a reasonable way to do better, I'm not sure, but it's not ideal.

Yeah, not sure that would deserve a fix for its own but if we address 2.
then let's do 1. too.

I agree that's not ideal (but one could still figure out which one is
failing if any by looking at the perl script).

If we want to "improve" this, what about passing a second argument that
would provide more context in the test name?
