I wanted to avoid having unnecessary error entry fields when there is
no apply worker error but there is a table sync worker error. But
after more thoughts, the apply worker is likely to raise an error than
table sync workers. So it might be better to have both
PgStat_StatSubErrEntry for the apply worker error and hash table for
table sync workers errors in PgStat_StatSubEntry.

Do you mean the tests checking if subscription error entry is deleted
after DROP SUBSCRIPTION?

Those comments are incorporated into local branches. I'll submit the
updated patches after incorporating other comments.
