A few hours after this I hit a stupid copy-pasto (21d7c05a5cf) that would
hopefully have been uncovered by such a test...
I guess we could even test this specific instance without a more complicated
framework. Create table with some data, rename the file, checkpoint - should
fail, rename back, checkpoint - should succeed.
It's much harder to exercise the error paths inside the backend extending the
relation unfortunately, because we require the file to be opened rw before
doing much. And once the FD is open, removing the permissions doesn't help.
The least complicated approach I scan see is creating directory qutoas, but
that's quite file system specific...
