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.
