Re: [HACKERS] make async slave to wait for lsn to be replayed

Should rise disscusion on separate utility statement or find
case where procedure version is failed.

1) Classic (wait_classic_v3.patch)
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/3cc883048264c2e9af022033925ff8db%40postgrespro.ru
==========
advantages: multiple wait events, separate WAIT FOR statement
disadvantages: new words in grammar

WAIT FOR [ANY | ALL] event [, ...]
BEGIN [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ transaction_mode [, ...] ]
[ WAIT FOR [ANY | ALL] event [, ...]]
event:
LSN value
TIMEOUT number_of_milliseconds
timestamp

2) After style: Kyotaro and Freund (wait_after_within_v2.patch)
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/d3ff2e363af60b345f82396992595a03%40postgrespro.ru
==========
advantages: no new words in grammar
disadvantages: a little harder to understand

AFTER lsn_event [ WITHIN delay_milliseconds ] [, ...]
BEGIN [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ transaction_mode [, ...] ]
[ AFTER lsn_event [ WITHIN delay_milliseconds ]]
START [ WORK | TRANSACTION ] [ transaction_mode [, ...] ]
[ AFTER lsn_event [ WITHIN delay_milliseconds ]]

3) Procedure style: Tom Lane and Kyotaro (wait_proc_v7.patch)
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/27171.1586439221%40sss.pgh.pa.us
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20210121.173009.235021120161403875.horikyota.ntt%40gmail.com
==========
advantages: no new words in grammar,like it made in
pg_last_wal_replay_lsn
disadvantages: use snapshot xmin trick
SELECT pg_waitlsn(‘LSN’, timeout);
SELECT pg_waitlsn_infinite(‘LSN’);
SELECT pg_waitlsn_no_wait(‘LSN’);
