Eh... I may be showing my status as a non-normal human, but I know
exactly what pg_stat_walsender is (it's the view that shows you the
status of the WAL senders you've allowed by configuring
max_wal_senders>0) but I have no idea what pg_stat_replication_sent
and pg_stat_replication_received are supposed to be.  Why two views?
