[COMMITTERS] pgsql: Correct base backup throttling

Correct base backup throttling

Throttling for sending a base backup in walsender is broken for the case
where there is a lot of WAL traffic, because the latch used to put the
walsender to sleep is also signalled by regular WAL traffic (and each
signal causes an additional batch of data to be sent); the net effect is
that there is no or little actual throttling.  This is undesirable, so
rewrite the sleep into a loop to achieve the desired effeect.
