This stuff refers to SUBREL_STATE_* in pg_subscription_rel.h, and FWIW
I find confusing the term "transient" in this context as a state may
last for a rather long time, depending on the time it takes to
synchronize the relation, no? I am wondering if we could do better
here, say:
"The state tracking the progress of the relation synchronization is
additionally stored in shared memory, with SYNCWAIT and CATCHUP only
appearing in memory."
