Reject concurrent sequence refreshes.

'ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES' can race with an already
running sequence synchronization worker. If a second refresh request
resets the synchronization state while the worker has already fetched
sequence values from the publisher but has not yet applied them to the
subscriber, the worker can overwrite the subscriber with stale values
and mark the synchronization as complete.

Avoid this race by rejecting 'ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES'
when a sequence synchronization worker is already running for the
subscription. The command reports an error asking the user to rerun it
after the current synchronization completes.

Also add a wait for the re-added 'regress_s4' sequence to finish
synchronizing in 036_sequences.pl, so the subsequent test does not race
against its sequencesync worker.
