Tom Lane cff75130b5 Remove wal_sender_delay GUC, because it's no longer useful.
The latch infrastructure is now capable of detecting all cases where the
walsender loop needs to wake up, so there is no reason to have an arbitrary
timeout.

Also, modify the walsender loop logic to follow the standard pattern of
ResetLatch, test for work to do, WaitLatch.  The previous coding was both
hard to follow and buggy: it would sometimes busy-loop despite having
nothing available to do, eg between receipt of a signal and the next time
it was caught up with new WAL, and it also had interesting choices like
deciding to update to WALSNDSTATE_STREAMING on the strength of information
known to be obsolete.

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
