When WalSndCaughtUp, sleep only in WalSndWaitForWal().
Before sleeping, WalSndWaitForWal() sends a keepalive if MyWalSnd->write < sentPtr. That is important in logical replication. When the latest physical LSN yields no logical replication messages (a common case), that keepalive elicits a reply, and processing the reply updates pg_stat_replication.replay_lsn. WalSndLoop() lacks that; when WalSndLoop() slept, replay_lsn advancement could stall until wal_receiver_status_interval elapsed. This sometimes stalled src/test/subscription/t/001_rep_changes.pl for up to 10s. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200406063649.GA3738151@rfd.leadboat.com
