This reverts commit f38afa4abb.
That commit fixed a race that could leave stale sequence values on the
subscriber after 'ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES'. It did so by
raising an ERROR during 'ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES'
whenever a sequence synchronization worker was already running for the
subscription.
That approach caused intermittent buildfarm failures, because the existing
tests did not ensure the sequencesync worker had stopped before executing
'ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH SEQUENCES'. While discussing how to fix
the tests, we concluded that blocking the command while a sequencesync
worker is running is inconvenient for users. So we will fix the original
race differently in a follow-up commit.
