Add support for two-phase commit in pg_createsubscriber

This patch introduces the '--enable-two-phase' option to the
'pg_createsubscriber' utility, allowing users to enable two-phase commit for
all subscriptions during their creation.

By default, two-phase commit is disabled if the option is not provided.

When two-phase commit is enabled, prepared transactions are sent to the
subscriber at the time of 'PREPARE TRANSACTION', and they are processed as
two-phase transactions on the subscriber as well. If disabled, prepared
transactions are sent only when committed and are processed immediately by the
subscriber.
