On Windows, WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable() seems to depend on the call to
WaitLatch() for wal_retrieve_retry_interval to ensure that signals are
dispatched (i.e., pgwin32_dispatch_queued_signals()).  My first instinct is
to just always call WaitLatch() in this code path, even if
wal_retrieve_rety_interval milliseconds have already elapsed.  The attached
0003 does this.

  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.
