* Use logging in python tests
* Use f-strings for logs
* Don't log test output while running
* Use only pytest logging handler
* Add more info about pytest logging
When a WAL record affects multiple pages, we currently duplicate the
record for each affected page. That's a bit wasteful, but not too bad
for b-tree splits and non-hot heap updates that affect two pages. But
buffering GiST index build WAL-logs the whole relation in 32 page chunks,
with one giant WAL record for each 32-page chunk. Currently we duplicate
that giant record for each of the 32 pages, which is really wasteful.
Github issue https://github.com/zenithdb/zenith/issues/720 tracks the
problem. This commit adds a test case for it to demonstrate it.
Now that the page server collects this metric (since commit 212920e47e),
let's include it in the performance test results
The new metric looks like this:
performance/test_perf_pgbench.py . [100%]

test_pgbench.init: 6.784 s

This provides a pytest fixture to record metrics from pytest tests. The
The recorded metrics are printed out at the end of the tests.
As a starter, this includes on small test, using pgbench. It prints out
three metrics: the initialization time, runtime of 5000 xacts, and the
repository size after the tests.
