When in follow replay mode, the pgcopydb sentinel is updated quite frequently so that we can see progress being made and be reactive about when to implement the migration cutover.
Now, we might have to consider some latency with the source database system where the replay_lsn is published, so rate-limiting those sentinel updates is important. Also, rate limiting alone might not be enough to prevent slowing down the replay process, so switch to using libpq async API.
