Improve replication lag interpolation after idle period

After sitting idle and fully replayed for a while and then encountering
a new burst of WAL activity, we interpolate between an ancient sample and the
not-yet-reached one for the new traffic. That produced a corner case report
of lag after receiving first new reply from standby, which might sometimes
be a large spike.

Correct this by resetting last_read time and handle that new case.
