Ensure consistent logical replication of datetime and float8 values.
In walreceiver, set the publisher's relevant GUCs (datestyle,
intervalstyle, extra_float_digits) to the same values that pg_dump uses,
and for the same reason: we need the output to be read the same way
regardless of the receiver's settings. Without this, it's possible
for subscribers to misinterpret transmitted values.
Although this is clearly a bug fix, it's not without downsides:
subscribers that are storing values into some other datatype, such as
text, could get different results than before, and perhaps be unhappy
about that. Given the lack of previous complaints, it seems best
to change this only in HEAD, and to call it out as an incompatible
change in v15.
