  1. Fix random failure in 021_twophase.

  2. Allow altering of two_phase option of a SUBSCRIPTION.

  3. Doc: use true|false rather than on|off for "failover" option

  4. Support an optional asynchronous commit mode, in which we don't flush WAL

Hi Kuroda-san,

I'm having second thoughts about how these patches mention the option
values "on|off". These are used in the ALTER SUBSCRIPTION document
page for 'two_phase' and 'failover' parameters, and then those
"on|off" get propagated to the code comments, error messages, and
tests...

Now I see that on the CREATE SUBSCRIPTION page [1], every boolean
parameter (even including 'two_phase' and 'failover') is described in
terms of "true|false" (not "on|off").

In hindsight, it is probably better to refer only to true|false
everywhere for these boolean parameters, instead of sometimes using
different values like on|off.

What do you think?
