In successful pg_recvlogical, end PGRES_COPY_OUT cleanly.

nmisch · nmisch · commit 8222a9d9a123 · 2020-05-13T20:42:09.000-07:00
pg_recvlogical merely called PQfinish(), so the backend sent messages after the disconnect. When that caused EPIPE in internal_flush(), before a LogicalConfirmReceivedLocation(), the next pg_recvlogical would repeat already-acknowledged records. Whether or not the defect causes EPIPE, post-disconnect messages could contain an ErrorResponse that the user should see. One properly ends PGRES_COPY_OUT by repeating PQgetCopyData() until it returns a negative value. Augment one of the tests to cover the case of WAL past --endpos. Back-patch to v10, where commit 7c03078 first appeared. Before that commit, pg_recvlogical never reached PGRES_COPY_OUT. Reported by Thomas Munro.
