Unless somebody protests I'd like to backpatch this change to 9.2 and
9.1. This imo is a bugfix, not a new feature. What currently happens <
9.3 when hot_standby_feedback is disabled after being enabled is that
the walsender's xmin horizon doesn't increase until disconnected. That's
pretty hard to diagnose and can cause severe problems.
