Improve wording of log messages triggered by max_slot_wal_keep_size.

The one about "terminating process to release replication slot" told
you nothing about why that was happening. The one about "invalidating
slot because its restart_lsn exceeds max_slot_wal_keep_size" told you
what was happening, but violated our message style guideline about
keeping the primary message short. Add DETAIL/HINT lines to carry
the appropriate detail and make the two cases more uniform.

While here, fix bogus test logic in 019_replslot_limit.pl: if it timed
out without seeing the expected log message, no test failure would be
reported. This is flat broken since commit 549ec201d removed the test
counts; even before that it was horribly bad style, since you'd only
get told that not all tests had been run.
