AlterSubscription_refresh: avoid stomping on global variable

This patch replaces use of the global "wrconn" variable in
AlterSubscription_refresh with a local variable of the same name, making
it consistent with other functions in subscriptioncmds.c (e.g.
DropSubscription).

The global wrconn is only meant to be used for logical apply/tablesync worker.
Abusing it this way is known to cause trouble if an apply worker
manages to do a subscription refresh, such as reported by Jeremy Finzel
and diagnosed by Andres Freund back in November 2020, at
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20201111215820.qihhrz7fayu6myfi@alap3.anarazel.de

Backpatch to 10.  In branch master, also move the connection establishment
to occur outside the PG_TRY block; this way we can remove a test for NULL in
PG_FINALLY, and it also makes the code more consistent with similar code in
the same file.
