This makes sense to me. How about adding this assert in all routines
in libpqwalreceiver that communicate over the network? That means to
add assert except for routines libpqrcv_get_senderinfo,
libpqrcv_get_conninfo, libpqrcv_check_conninfo,
libpqrcv_server_version, libpqrcv_get_backend_pid where we don't
communicate over the network.

There would be one exception to the above which is that we can't add
this assert in libpqrcv_disconnect as that will be called at the time
of proc exit and we set InterruptHoldoffCount as  1 in
proc_exit_prepare. I think that should be fine.
