Thread: [COMMITTERS] pgsql: Prevent logical rep workers with removed subscriptions fromstar

Prevent logical rep workers with removed subscriptions from starting.

Any logical rep workers must have their subscription entries in
pg_subscription. To ensure this, we need to prevent the launcher
from starting new worker corresponding to the subscription that
DROP SUBSCRIPTION command is removing. To implement this,
previously LogicalRepLauncherLock was introduced and held until
the end of transaction running DROP SUBSCRIPTION. But using
LWLock for that purpose was not valid.

Instead, this commit changes DROP SUBSCRIPTION so that it takes
AccessExclusiveLock on pg_subscription, in order to ensure that
the launcher cannot see any subscriptions being removed. Also this
commit gets rid of LogicalRepLauncherLock.

Patch by me, reviewed by Petr Jelinek
