pg_receivexlog.c would have the same problem since it uses the
same function with pg_basebackup.c.

The correspondent of HandleCopyStream in wansender is
WalReceiverMain, and it doesn't seem to have the same kind of
loop shown below. It seems to surely send feedback per one
record.

|   r = stream_reader();
|   while (r > 0)
|   {
|      ... wal record processing stuff without sending feedback..
|      r = stream_reader();
|   }
