Fix for 0000116: LISTEN Notifications Not Reliably Delivered Using JDBC4 Demonstrator

    The issue happens in master slave mode with load balancing when the client is
    doing extended query messaging.
    The scenario is IS_MASTER_NODE_ID points to the current load balanced selected
    node, which could be the standby node if the current selected node to send query
    is not a primary node.

    But the difference with the NOTIFY is that even when the query is sent to the
    read only replica (SELECT 1; in this case for getting the pending notifications
    from the server) the NOTIFY is returned to pgpool-II from the primary backend
    node irrespective of the fact the primary node did not received the SELECT 1 query.

    And currently pgpool-II expects that it will either get the NOTIFY message from
    master node (which is standby read only replica in this scenario) or from all the
    attached backends including the master node.  But none of this happens actually
    and NOTIFY from standby never arrives. So pgpool-II gets stuck on waiting for NOTIFY
    message from the standby backend node.

    The commit by forwarding the notification message to frontend when pgpool-II is
    in master slave configuration even when the message is received from a node other
    than master backed node.
