I wrote a patch(Send-keepalive.patch, please refer to attachment) according to
Amit's suggestions. But after I did some simple test about this patch by the
test script "test.sh"(please refer to attachment), I found the timeout problem
has not been fixed by this patch.

So I add some logs(please refer to Add-some-logs-to-debug.patch) to confirm 
newly
added WalSndKeepaliveIfNecessary() send keepalive message or not.

After applying the Send-keepalive.patch and Add-some-logs-to-debug.patch, I
found that the added message "send keep alive message" was not printed in
publisher-side log.

It seems WalSndKeepaliveIfNecessary did not send keepalive message in testing. I
am still doing some research about the cause.

Attach the patches and test script mentioned above, in case someone wants to 
try.
If I miss something, please let me know.
