Remove recovery test 011_crash_recovery.pl
This test has been added as of 857ee8e that has introduced the SQL function txid_status(), with the purpose of checking that a transaction ID still in-progress during a crash is correctly marked as aborted after recovery finishes. This test is unstable, and some configuration scenarios may that easier to reproduce (wal_level=minimal, wal_compression=on) because the WAL holding the information about the in-progress transaction ID may not have made it to disk yet, hence a post-crash recovery may cause the same XID to be reused, triggering a test failure. We have discussed a few approaches, like making this function force a WAL flush to make it reliable across crashes, but we don't want to pay a performance penalty in some scenarios, as well. The test could have been tweaked to enforce a checkpoint but that actually breaks the promise of the test to rely on a stable result of txid_status() after a crash. This issue has been reported a few times across the past years, with an original report from Kyotaro Horiguchi. The buildfarm machines tanager, hachi and gokiburi enable wal_compression, and fail on this test periodically.
