Oops, that is a mistake. I only meant to wake up the workers for ALTER
SUBSCRIPTION RENAME. I think I've fixed this in v6.

IIUC we must restart all the apply workers for a subscription to enable
two_phase mode. It looks like finish_sync_worker() only wakes up its own
apply worker. I moved this logic to where the sync worker marks the state
as SYNCDONE and added a check that two_phase mode is pending. Even so,
there can still be unnecessary wakeups, but this adjustment should limit
them.
