pgsql: Add ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SKIP.

Add ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SKIP.

This feature allows skipping the transaction on subscriber nodes.

If incoming change violates any constraint, logical replication stops
until it's resolved. Currently, users need to either manually resolve the
conflict by updating a subscriber-side database or by using function
pg_replication_origin_advance() to skip the conflicting transaction. This
commit introduces a simpler way to skip the conflicting transactions.

The user can specify LSN by ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SKIP (lsn = XXX),
which allows the apply worker to skip the transaction finished at
specified LSN. The apply worker skips all data modification changes within
the transaction.
