Nothing happens: NOTIFYs are *not* WAL-logged, and it would be quite
against the intended use-case to have them be.
If you're hoping that processes on the slave could LISTEN for events
happening on the master, we'd have a bit of a conflict. This might be
an example of a case where we need that "are we doing HS" flag that
Simon insists we don't need.
