Dear hackers,

I have been concerned that the patch has not been tested by cfbot due to the
application error. Also, some comments were raised. Therefore, I created a patch
to move forward.
I also tried to address some comments which is not so claimed by others.
They were included in 0003 patch.

* 0001 patch
It is almost the same as v3-0001, which was posted by Euler.
An unnecessary change for Mkvcbuild.pm (this file was removed) was ignored.

* 0002 patch
This contains small fixes to keep complier quiet.

* 0003 patch
This addresses comments posted to -hackers. For now, this does not contain a doc.
Will add if everyone agrees these idea.

1.
An option --port was added to control the port number for physical standby.
Users can specify a port number via the option, or an environment variable PGSUBPORT.
If not specified, a fixed value (50111) would be used.

2.
A FATAL error would be raised if --subscriber-conninfo specifies non-local server.

3. 
Options -o/-O were added to specify options for publications/subscriptions.

SOURCE: [2]

4. 
Made standby to save their output to log file.

SOURCE: [2]

5. 
Unnecessary Assert in drop_replication_slot() was removed.

How do you think?
Thanks Shlok and Vignesh to work with me offline.
