Avoid sending duplicate WAL locations in standby status replies

Browse source 
Previously, when the startup process applied WAL and requested walreceiver
to send an apply notification to the primary, walreceiver sent a status reply
unconditionally, even if the WAL locations had not advanced since
the previous update.

As a result, the standby could send two consecutive status reply messages
with identical WAL locations even though wal_receiver_status_interval had
not yet elapsed. This could unexpectedly reset the reported replication lag,
making it difficult for users to monitor lag. The second message was also
unnecessary because it reported no progress.

This commit updates walreceiver to send a reply only when the apply location
has advanced since the last status update, even when the startup process
requests a notification.
