Remove hard-wired sleep(2) delays in 001_stream_rep.pl in favor of using
poll_query_until to check for the desired state to appear.  In addition,
add such a wait before the last test in the script, as it's possible
to demonstrate failures there after upcoming improvements in pg_ctl.

(We might end up adding polling before each of the get_slot_xmins calls in
this script, but I feel no great need to do that until shown necessary.)

In passing, clarify the description strings for some of the test cases.
