In caught-up logical walsender, sleep only in WalSndWaitForWal().
Before sleeping, WalSndWaitForWal() sends a keepalive if MyWalSnd->write
< sentPtr. When the latest physical LSN yields no logical replication
messages (a common case), that keepalive elicits a reply. Processing
the reply updates pg_stat_replication.replay_lsn. WalSndLoop() lacks
that; when WalSndLoop() slept, replay_lsn advancement could stall until
wal_receiver_status_interval elapsed. This sometimes stalled
src/test/subscription/t/001_rep_changes.pl for up to 10s.
