    Allow logical decoding via the walsender interface. · 5a991ef8

    In order for this to work, walsenders need the optional ability to
    connect to a database, so the "replication" keyword now allows true
    or false, for backward-compatibility, and the new value "database"
    (which causes the "dbname" parameter to be respected).
    
    walsender needs to loop not only when idle but also when sending
    decoded data to the user and when waiting for more xlog data to decode.
    This means that there are now three separate loops inside walsender.c;
    although some refactoring has been done here, this is still a bit ugly.

    review by me.
