Dear Amit, Vignesh,

I found at least 022_twophase_cascade.pl should be fixed.
The file has a part which tests non-streaming case:

```
# -----------------------
# 2PC NON-STREAMING TESTS
# -----------------------
...
$node_B->safe_psql(
'postgres', "
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION tap_sub_B
CONNECTION '$node_A_connstr application_name=$appname_B'
PUBLICATION tap_pub_A
WITH (two_phase = on)");
...
```

I know the streaming actually does not happen because few tuples will be inserted
later, but creating as streaming=parallel is bit misleading.

I checked other files as well but I couldn't find what we should fix.

I also think it is okay. IIUC, there were no specific reasons to create
subscriptions with streaming=off, it was chosen because it was a default.
I cannot find strong reasons to keep current behavior.
