So basically instead of stopping the worker with an error you suggest
having the worker continue applying changes (after resetting subskipxid,
and - arguably - the ?_error_* fields). Log the transaction xid mis-match
as a warning in the log file as opposed to an error.

I was supposing to make it an error and have the worker stop again since in
a system where the xid is verified and the code is bug-free I would expect
the situation to be a "can't happen" one and I'd rather error in that
circumstance than warn. The DBA will have to go and ALTER SUBSCRIPTION
SKIP (xid = NONE) to get the worker working again but I find that
acceptable in this case.
