This avoids platform-dependent behavior wherein pg_sleep() might fail to be
interrupted by statement timeout, query cancel, SIGTERM, etc.  Also, since
there's no reason to wake up once a second any more, we can reduce the
power consumption of a sleeping backend a tad.

Back-patch to 9.3, since use of SA_RESTART for SIGALRM makes this a bigger
issue than it used to be.
