Have pg_receivexlog always send an invalid log position in status messages

This prevents pg_basebackup and pg_receivexlog from becoming a synchronous
standby in case 'write' is used for synchronous_commit.

It's not completely crazy to use pg_receivexlog as a synchronous standby. It provides the zero-loss property like a real standby does, ie. if the master dies after sending the WAL to pg_receivexlog, that transaction is safe in the archive.
