Subject: [PATCH] Fix the logic in libpqrcv_receive() to determine if there's
any incoming data that can be read without blocking. It used to conclude that
there isn't, even though there was data in the socket receive buffer. That
lead walreceiver to flush the WAL after every received chunk, potentially
causing big performance issues.
Backpatch to 9.0, because the performance impact can be very significant.
