Implement WAIT FOR command

WAIT FOR is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed.  This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.

WAIT FOR needs to wait without any snapshot held.  Otherwise, the snapshot
could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of self-deadlock.
This is why separate utility command seems appears to be the most robust
way to implement this functionality.  It's not possible to implement this as
a function.  Previous experience shows that stored procedures also have
limitation in this aspect.
