It would be better to invent the contexts we want now, so we get the
architecture right for future work. Otherwise we have problems with
"can't backpatch this fix because that infrastructure doesn't exist in
PG10" in a couple of years.
So I suggest we have
ApplyMessageContext - cleaned after every message
ApplyTransactionContext - cleaned at EOXact
ApplyContext - persistent
