Tom Lane 1f201a818a Fix race conditions and missed wakeups in syncrep worker signaling.
When a sync worker is waiting for the associated apply worker to notice
that it's in SYNCWAIT state, wait_for_worker_state_change() would just
patiently wait for that to happen.  This generally required waiting for
the 1-second timeout in LogicalRepApplyLoop to elapse.  Kicking the worker
via its latch makes things significantly snappier.

While at it, fix race conditions that could potentially result in crashes:
we can *not* call logicalrep_worker_wakeup_ptr() once we've released the
LogicalRepWorkerLock, because worker->proc might've been reset to NULL
after we do that (indeed, there's no really solid reason to believe that
the LogicalRepWorker slot even belongs to the same worker anymore).
In logicalrep_worker_wakeup(), we can just move the wakeup inside the
lock scope.  In process_syncing_tables_for_apply(), a bit more code
rearrangement is needed.

Also improve some nearby comments.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
