Here's a cleaned up version of that patch, which I intend to get in the
tree tomorrow.  I verified that this allows the subscription tests to
pass with Tom's sleep additions.

I noticed one point where we're reading the active_pid without locking;
marked it with an XXX comment.  Not yet sure whether this is a bug or
not.


I noticed something funny in CREATE_REPLICATION; apparently we first
create a slot and set it active, then we activate it by name.  With the
current coding it seems to work fine, because we're careful to make
activation idempotent, but it looks convoluted.  I don't think this is
new, though.
