this will increase monotonically. But when streaming replication is
restarted this will back off to the replication starting position,
typically the beginning of the WAL file containing the current
replay location. If recovery has completed this will remain static at
the value of the last WAL record received and synced to disk during
recovery. If streaming replication is disabled, or if it has not yet
started, the function returns NULL.
