I felt this variable need not be added to the pg_subscription catalog
table, instead we could save the state of subscription owner when the
worker is started and compare this value during invalidations. As this
information is added only to the memory Subscription structure and not
added to the catalog FormData_pg_subscription, the checking is
slightly different in this case. Also since this variable will be used
only within the worker, I felt we need not add it to the catalog.
