resolve additional deadlock during drop database :: pglogical_apply.c :: CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS()

[Andrei-Pozolotin]

this was tested on top of: PostgreSQL-15.3 + pglogical-2.4.3

resolve additional deadlock during drop database:
fix #418
fix #399

solution for the deadlock in pglogical_apply_main()
is identical to the solution for the deadlock in pglogical_supervisor_main():
#403

[Andrei-Pozolotin]

note: there are still few more "deadlock candidates" in the code, for example, search for:

while (!got_SIGTERM)

and review (loops are not using CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS()):

pglogical_sync.c

pglogical_sync_worker_cleanup(PGLogicalSubscription *sub)

wait_for_sync_status_change(Oid subid, const char *nspname, const char *relname,

I've reviewed this. Note that the linked issues say this began with PostgreSQL
15 commit postgres/postgres@4eb2176318d, but it was Windows-only until
postgres/postgres@e2f65f4255. I do recommend merging this PR as-is, but it
would be even better with these improvements:

1. Changing pglogical_sync_worker_cleanup and wait_for_sync_status_change
   the same way, even though they're not expected to loop indefinitely like
   apply_work

2. Normal order of operations is:
   WaitLatch
   ResetLatch
   check WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH
   CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS()
   normal loop work

   See
   https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/b1a8dc846da4d96d903dcb5733f68a1e02d82a23/src/include/storage/latch.h#L41
   for some background and
   https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/d392e9bdea957964e1fa6a5481e5adb5904d759a/src/test/modules/worker_spi/worker_spi.c#L238
   for an example. This PR is instead putting CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() just
   before WaitLatch. This is largely harmless, and order does vary within
   pglogical code. Still, I recommend moving the call to just after the
   WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH check.

3. Add test coverage, perhaps just:

   --- a/sql/parallel.sql
   +++ b/sql/parallel.sql
   @@ -34,6 +34,10 @@ SELECT sync_kind, sync_subid, sync_nspname, sync_relname, sync_status IN ('y', '
    
    SELECT * FROM pglogical.show_subscription_status();
    
   +-- apply worker shall not block DROP of a different database
   +CREATE DATABASE to_be_dropped;
   +DROP DATABASE to_be_dropped;
   +
    -- Make sure we see the slot and active connection
    \c :provider_dsn
    SELECT plugin, slot_type, database, active FROM pg_replication_slots;
   

4. Change leading whitespace to match surrounding lines (spaces vs. tabs).

This achieves a lot for a one-line change. @eulerto (since no other person has
merged a pglogical commit in the last eight months), would you merge this? If
not, what would you like to see first?

@petere I see you are the other of the two people who have committed to
pglogical in the last 2y. This pull request achieves a lot for a one-line
change. Would you merge this? If not, what would you like to see first?

@eulerto @petere @mwanner This is just adding a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() so DROP
DATABASE does not hang. For 11 months, the pull request has been waiting
attention from someone with repository write access. Would you grant me write
access so I can take responsibility for merging this? If not, how should we
get this process-hang bug resolved?

@nmisch I will check all pending PRs (including this one) in the next few days.
