This PR makes it possible to resume the replication stream for clients whose position in the replication stream is outside of the in-memory cached WAL window. This is done by streaming transactions directly from the replication slot. Assuming the slot's start position goes back further than the in-memory cache can fit, this effectively extends the resumable WAL window that the sync service can use before having to ask clients to reset their local state.
This implementation builds on the primitives introduced in #1119.
