Fix sr worker to not send wrong query to standby server in corner case. (Tatsuo Ishii)

When ALWAYS_PRIMARY flag is set, PRIMARY_NODE_ID macro returns node id, rather than -1 even if the primary is down. In this case streaming replication delay check worker sends SELECT pg_current_wal_lsn() or SELECT pg_current_xlog_location() depending on PostgreSQL's version to standby which of course raises an error.
