0003 looks good to me. I've attached an updated version with revised
comments in UpdateLogicalDecodingStatusEndOfRecovery(), which still
claimed that all processes had updated their XLogLogicalInfo state
before the function returned.

I think it's better to backpatch this to v19, since commit 67c20979ce7
introduced the unnecessary barrier wait. Thoughts?

Barring any objections, I'm thinking to commit it.
