I have added documentation that certain forms of CREATE/DROP
SUBSCRIPTION cannot be run inside a transaction block, which we have
done for other such commands.

I don't think we need to go into further detail.  We don't guarantee
continuous connections.  If a worker is stopped and restarted in the
background as an implementation detail, then the user is not impacted.
