I have rebased the patch set on the latest head.

Apart from this, there is one issue reported by my colleague Vignesh.
The issue is that if we use more than two relations in a transaction
then there is an error on standby (no relation map entry for remote
relation ID 16390).  After analyzing I have found that for the
streaming transaction an "is_schema_sent" flag is kept in
ReorderBufferTXN.  And, I think that is done so that we can send the
schema for each transaction stream so that if any subtransaction gets
aborted we don't lose the logical WAL for that schema.  But, this
solution has induced a very basic issue that if a transaction operate
on more than 1 relation then after sending the schema for the first
relation it will mark the flag true and the schema for the subsequent
relations will never be sent.  I am still working on finding a better
solution for this if anyone has any opinion/solution about this feel
free to suggest.
