apply_handle_begin()and apply_dispatch() are returning something which they are not. I would prefer return on separate

I don't like the word 'Enumize' in commit message. How about changing
it to something like: (a) Add defines for logical replication protocol
messages, or (b) Associate names with logical replication protocol
messages.

+ 2. It's easy to locate the code handling a given type.

In the above instead of 'type', shouldn't it be 'message'.

Other than that the patch looks good to me.
