Consistently use subscription name as application name

petere · petere · commit d4bfc06e292e · 2017-06-06T22:11:22.000-04:00
The logical replication apply worker uses the subscription name as
application name, except for table sync.  This was incorrectly set to
use the replication slot name, which might be different, in one case.
Also add a comment why the other case is different.
