   * async, we just fastpath out of here. If it is sync, then we wait for

   *
!  * In 9.5 or before only a single standby could be considered as

!  * The number of synchronous standbys that transactions must wait for
!  * replies from is specified in synchronous_standby_names.
!  * This parameter also specifies a list of standby names,
!  * which determines the priority of each standby for being chosen as
!  * a synchronous standby. The standbys whose names appear earlier
!  * in the list are given higher priority and will be considered as
!  * synchronous. Other standby servers appearing later in this list
!  * represent potential synchronous standbys. If any of the current
!  * synchronous standbys disconnects for whatever reason, it will be
!  * replaced immediately with the next-highest-priority standby.
!  *
!  * Before the standbys chosen from synchronous_standby_names can
!  * become the synchronous standbys they must have caught up with
!  * the primary; that may take some time. Once caught up,
!  * the current higher priority standbys which are considered as
!  * synchronous at that moment will release waiters from the queue.
