Yes, I agree. I think it would be better to add a new callback API on the HEAD.
So, I improved the fix approach:
Introduce a new optional callback to update the process. This callback function
is invoked at the end inside the main loop of the function
ReorderBufferProcessTXN() for each change. In this way, I think it seems that
similar timeout problems could be avoided.

BTW, I did the performance test for this patch. When running the SQL that
reproduces the problem (refresh the materialized view in sync logical
replication mode), the running time of new function pgoutput_update_progress is
less than 0.1% of the total time. I think this result looks OK.

Attach the new patch.
