With synchronous_commit = remote_apply, a commit could remain blocked even
after the synchronous standby had applied it when
wal_receiver_status_interval was set to zero. With both
wal_sender_timeout and wal_receiver_timeout disabled, the wait could last
indefinitely.
Commit 400a790a48 introduced this regression while avoiding unnecessary
duplicate standby status replies. It changed apply notifications from forced
replies to replies that check for WAL position changes. However,
XLogWalRcvSendReply() still returned early for non-forced replies when
wal_receiver_status_interval was zero, before checking the apply position.
Fix this by allowing apply-notification requests to bypass the early return
while preserving the existing checks that suppress unnecessary duplicate
replies.
