Whenever we see an XLOG_MULTIXACT_CREATE_ID WAL record, we need to
update the nextMulti and NextMultiOffset fields in the pageserver's
copy of the CheckPoint struct, to cover the new multi-XID. In
PostgreSQL, this is done by updating an in-memory struct during WAL
replay, but because in Neon you can start a compute node at any LSN,
we need to have an up-to-date value pre-calculated in the pageserver
at all times. We do the same for nextXid.
However, we had a bug in WAL ingestion code that does that: the
multi-XIDs will wrap around at 2^32, just like XIDs, so we need to do
the comparisons in a wraparound-aware fashion.
Fix that, and add tests.
Fixes issue #6520

Postgres can always write some more WAL, so previous checks that WAL doesn't
change after something had been crafted were wrong; remove them. Add comments
here and there.

## Problem

## Summary of changes
With this PR, rust-analyzer should be able to give lints and auto
complete in `mod tests`, and this makes writing tests easier.
Previously, rust-analyzer cannot do auto completion.
