Prevent non-streaming replication connections from being selected sync slave

mhagander · mhagander · commit 3595a71e9ce9 · 2012-06-11T15:17:38.000+02:00
This prevents a pg_basebackup backup session that just does a base
backup (no xlog involved at all) from becoming the synchronous slave
and thus blocking all access while it runs.

Also fixes the problem when a higher priority slave shows up it would
become the sync standby before it has reached the STREAMING state, by
making sure we can only switch to a walsender that's actually STREAMING.
