Doc: Clarify interactions of pg_receivewal with remote_apply

Using pg_receivewal with synchronous_commit = remote_apply set in the
backend is incompatible if pg_receivewal is a synchronous standby as it
never applies WAL, so document this problem and solutions to it.

Backpatch to 9.6, where remote_apply has been added.
