In an effort to resolve the PG9.2 open item on keepalives, I have

* Ensured we have full and correct info about replication messages
available for analysis

* Turned off keepalives by default, keeping all code. It can be turned
on again by someone that knows how.

I will later do this

* Publish functions that can turn on keepalives and analyse info from
them, making them available as an Extension for 9.2

Later meaning not during the next two weeks, but by Sep 15.

That's about the simplest way of resolving it I can think of, so I
hope that's fine for y'all.
