Revert "Reduce checkpoints and WAL traffic on low activity database server"

This reverts commit 18fb9d8d21a28caddb72c7ffbdd7b96d52ff9724.  Per
discussion, it does not seem like a good idea to allow committed changes to
go un-checkpointed indefinitely, as could happen in a low-traffic server;
that makes us entirely reliant on the WAL stream with no redundancy that
might aid data recovery in case of disk failure.

This re-introduces the original problem of hot-standby setups generating a
small continuing stream of WAL traffic even when idle, but there are other
ways to address that without compromising crash recovery, so we'll revisit
that issue in a future release cycle.
