Make logical WAL sender report streaming state appropriately

WAL senders sending logically-decoded data fail to properly report in
"streaming" state when starting up, hence as long as one extra record is
not replayed, such WAL senders would remain in a "catchup" state, which
is inconsistent with the physical cousin.

This can be easily reproduced by for example using pg_recvlogical and
restarting the upstream server.  The TAP tests have been slightly
modified to detect the failure and strengthened so as future tests also
make sure that a node is in streaming state when waiting for its
catchup.

Backpatch down to 9.4 where this code has been introduced.
