IIDR PostgreSQL Source - CDC from Standby

IIDR CDC can replicate data from PostgreSQL. Currently, IIDR only supports replicate from Primary PostgreSQL database, It doesn't support replicating from standby or read-replica of PostgreSQL database.  Generally PostgreSQL mission critical applications and databases would have primary-standby or primary-read/replica implementation.

In PostgreSQL version 16+, there is new feature that can allow PostgreSQL logical replication from standby PostgreSQL database. IIDR uses PostgreSQL logical replication/decoding feature to replicate from PostgreSQL database. This feature request is to allow IIDR to replicate from PostgreSQL standby databases. Few links on this topic.

https://pganalyze.com/blog/5mins-postgres-16-logical-decoding

This would be very useful feature that would offload IIDR to standby /read-replica, ease IIDR resources on high volume PostgreSQL database, and also useful achieving high-availability for IIDR implementation on critical PostgreSQL application/database.
