commit    f5d28710c707ad602cd869602e092cc9d538cbb9
Author:   Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@alvh.no-ip.org>

    Reimplement nullification of walsender timestamp
    
    Make the value null only at pg_stat_activity-output time, as suggested
    by Tom Lane, instead of messing with the internal state.  This should
    appease buildfarm members with force_parallel_mode=regress, which are
    running parallel queries on logical replication walsenders.
    
    The fact that walsenders can run parallel queries should perhaps be
    studied more carefully, but for the moment let's get rid of the red
    blots in buildfarm.
    
    Backpatch to pg10, like the previous commit.
