A few questions about pg_recvlogical:

- There doesn't seem to be any provision for this tool to ever switch
from one output file to the next. That seems like a practical need.
One idea would be to have it respond to SIGHUP by reopening the
originally-named output file. Another would be to switch, after so
many bytes, to filename.1, then filename.2, etc.

- It confirms the write and flush positions, but doesn't appear to
actually flush anywhere.

- While I quite agree with your desire for stringinfo in src/common,
couldn't you use the roughly-equivalent PQExpBuffer facilities in
libpq instead?
