This is because in 022_twophase_cascade.pl, altering subscription streaming
mode is inside test_streaming(), it would be more convenient to pass which
streaming mode we use (on or apply), we can directly use that in alter
subscription command.
In other files, we need to get the option because we only check the log in
apply mode, so I think it is sufficient to pass 'is_apply' (whose value is 0 or
1).
Because of these differences, I did not change it.

The rest of the comments are improved as suggested.
The new patches were attached in [1].
