Teach walsender to update its process title for replication commands.
Because the code path taken for SQL commands executed in a walsender
will update the process title, we pretty much have to update the
title for replication commands as well. Otherwise, the title shows
"idle" for the rest of a logical walsender's lifetime once it's
executed any SQL command.
Playing with this, I confirm that a walsender now typically spends
most of its life reporting
walsender postgres [local] START_REPLICATION
Considering this in isolation, it might be better to have it say
walsender postgres [local] sending replication data
However, consistency with the other cases seems to be a stronger
argument.
In passing, remove duplicative pgstat_report_activity call.
