Can we have a discussion on the name?

I find the name pg_subscriber too general.

The replication/backup/recovery tools in PostgreSQL are usually named 
along the lines of "verb - object".  (Otherwise, they would all be 
called "pg_backup"??)  Moreover, "pg_subscriber" also sounds like the 
name of the program that runs the subscriber itself, like what the 
walreceiver does now.

Very early in this thread, someone mentioned the name 
pg_create_subscriber, and of course there is pglogical_create_subscriber 
as the historical predecessor.  Something along those lines seems better 
to me.  Maybe there are other ideas.
