After sleeping on this, I think we can do better.  IIUC we can simply check
for AllTablesyncsReady() at the end of process_syncing_tables_for_apply()
and wake up the logical replication workers (which should just consiѕt of
setting the current process's latch) if we are ready for two_phase mode.

Commits

  1. Avoid type cheats for invalid dsa_handles and dshash_table_handles.

  2. Track logrep apply workers' last start times to avoid useless waits.

  3. Check for two_phase change at end of process_syncing_tables_for_apply.

  4. Wake up a subscription's replication worker processes after DDL.
