Yes, you are right. We should not set accept_writes to true here.
And I looked into the function WalSndUpdateProgress. I found function
WalSndUpdateProgress try to record the time of some message(by function
LagTrackerWrite) sent to subscriber, such as in function pgoutput_commit_txn.
Then, when publisher receives the reply message from the subscriber(function
ProcessStandbyReplyMessage), publisher invokes LagTrackerRead to calculate the
delay time(refer to view pg_stat_replication).
Referring to the purpose of LagTrackerWrite, I think it is no need to log time
when sending keepalive messages here.
So when the parameter send_keep_alive of function WalSndUpdateProgress is true,
skip the recording time.

Introduce version information, starting from version 1.
Attach the new patch.
1. Fix wrong variable setting and skip unnecessary time records.[suggestion by Kuroda-San and me.]
2. Introduce version information.[suggestion by Peter, Kuroda-San]
