Thanks for your patch.

The patch modified streaming option in logical replication, it can be set to
'on', 'off' and 'apply'. The new option 'apply' haven't been tested in the tap test.
Attach a patch which modified the subscription tap test to cover both 'on' and
'apply' option. (The main patch is also attached to make cfbot happy.)

Besides, I noticed that for two-phase commit transactions, if the transaction is
prepared by a background worker, the background worker would be asked to handle
the message about commit/rollback this transaction. Is it possible that the
messages about commit/rollback prepared transaction are handled by apply worker
directly?
