We will SIGKILL recalcitrant children during an "immediate" shutdown.
"Fast" shutdown is not defined to do that, and should not do so
because it'd imply having to do an unclean restart later.
I just tested logical replication both ways between current master and
v14 branch tip, and in either case the publishing server stops pretty
much instantaneously after "pg_ctl stop -m fast". So I don't see
anything broken about our code, and I remain of the opinion that Qlik
is probably at fault.
