Thanks for your comments.

No, I think you are right. Keep it as 10ms.

Fixed.

Compared with 023_twophase_stream, there is "rollback a subtransaction" in
022_twophase_cascade, but since this part of the code can be covered by tests
in 018_stream_subxact_abort, I think we can remove parallel version for
022_twophase_cascade. So I reverted changes in 022_twophase_cascade for
parallel mode and added some comments atop this file.

Combined them into one patch.

And I also checked and merged the diff patch in [1].

Besides, also fixed the below problem:
In previous versions, we didn't wait for STREAM_ABORT transactions to complete.
But in extreme cases, this can cause problems if the STREAM_ABORT transaction
doesn't complete and xid wraparound occurs on the publisher-side. Fixed this by
waiting for the STREAM_ABORT transaction to complete.

Attach the new patch set.
