Fix the logical replication timeout during large transactions.

The problem is that we don't send keep-alive messages for a long time
while processing large transactions during logical replication where we
don't send any data of such transactions. This can happen when the table
modified in the transaction is not published or because all the changes
got filtered. We do try to send the keep_alive if necessary at the end of
the transaction (via WalSndWriteData()) but by that time the
subscriber-side can timeout and exit.

To fix this we try to send the keepalive message if required after
processing certain threshold of changes.
