Fix the logical replication timeout during large DDLs.

The DDLs like Refresh Materialized views that generate lots of temporary
data due to rewrite rules may not be processed by output plugins (for
example pgoutput). So, we won't send keep-alive messages for a long time
while processing such commands and that can lead the subscriber side to
timeout. We have previously fixed a similar case for large transactions in
commit f95d53eded where the output plugin filters all or most of the
changes but missed to handle the DDLs.

We decided not to backpatch this as this adds a new callback in the
existing exposed structure and moreover, users can increase the
wal_sender_timeout and wal_receiver_timeout to avoid this problem.
