TBH, the current function name pg_last_wal_receive_lsn() is confusing, and
introducing a new one pg_last_wal_receive_unflushed_lsn() doesn't make it
better :(
What about actually adding TWO new functions, pg_last_wal_write_lsn() and
pg_last_wal_flush_lsn()?
These names are more aligned with column names in pg_stat_replication view
and speak for themselves.

And, we can keep pg_last_wal_receive_lsn() as an alias of
pg_last_wal_flush_lsn() for backward compatibility.
