Latest version of Sync Rep, which includes substantial internal changes
and simplifications from previous version. (25-30 changes).
Includes all outstanding technical comments, typos and docs. I will
continue to work on self review and test myself, though actively
encourage others to test and report issues.
Interesting changes
* docs updated
* names listed in synchronous_standby_names are now in priority order
* synchronous_standby_names = "*" matches all standby names
* pg_stat_replication now shows standby priority - this is an ordinal
number so "1" means 1st, "2" means 2nd etc, though 0 means "not a sync
standby".
The only *currently* outstanding point of discussion is the "when to
wait" debate, which we aren't moving quickly towards consensus on at
this stage. I see that as a "How should it work?" debate and something
we can chew over during Alpha/Beta, not as an immediate blocker to
commit.
Please comment on the patch and also watch changes to the repo
