Alvaro Herrera b175bd59fa pg_stat_activity: show NULL stmt start time for walsenders
Returning a non-NULL time is pointless, sinc a walsender is not a
process that would be running normal transactions anyway, but the code
was unintentionally exposing the process start time intermittently,
which was not only bogus but it also confused monitoring systems looking
for idle transactions.  Fix by avoiding all updates in walsenders.

Backpatch to 11, where walsenders started appearing in pg_stat_activity.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
