Thread: pgsql: Remember to reset yy_start state when firing up repl_scanner.l.

Remember to reset yy_start state when firing up repl_scanner.l.

Without this, we get odd behavior when the previous cycle of
lexing exited in a non-default exclusive state.  Every other
copy of this code is aware that it has to do BEGIN(INITIAL),
but repl_scanner.l did not get that memo.

The real-world impact of this is probably limited, since most
replication clients would abandon their connection after getting
a syntax error.  Still, it's a bug.

This mistake is old, so back-patch to all supported branches.
