Avoid exposing WAL receiver raw conninfo during timeline jumps
When reusing an existing WAL receiver after it has reached
WALRCV_WAITING for new instructions, RequestXLogStreaming() copied
PrimaryConnInfo into WalRcv->conninfo before switching the state to
WALRCV_RESTARTING. At that point ready_to_display could still be true,
so pg_stat_wal_receiver could expose the raw connection string,
including sensitive fields, but it should only show the user-displayable
version of the connection string.
WALRCV_RESTARTING does not establish a new connection. The waiting WAL
receiver reuses its existing connection and only needs a new startpoint
and timeline, so there is no need to copy the raw connection string into
shared memory again. Let's only copy conninfo when launching a new WAL
receiver after WALRCV_STOPPED, not while waiting for instructions.
This commit adds coverage for the case fixed by this commit to the
timeline-switch test by verifying that the WAL receiver conninfo remains
consistent across the jump.
Backpatch all the way down, as this issue is possible since
pg_stat_wal_receiver has been introduced.
