Correct several behavior descriptions in comments.
Reuse cautionary language from src/test/ssl/README in src/test/kerberos/README. SLRUs have had access to six-character segments names since commit 73c986adde5d73a5e2555da9b5c8facedb146dcd, and recovery stopped calling HeapTupleHeaderAdvanceLatestRemovedXid() in commit 558a9165e081d1936573e5a7d576f5febd7fb55a. The other corrections are more self-evident.
