Prevent BASE_BACKUP in the middle of another backup in the same session.

Multiple non-exclusive backups are able to be run conrrently in different
sessions. But, in the same session, only one non-exclusive backup can be
run at the same moment. If pg_backup_start (pg_start_backup in v14 or before)
is called in the middle of another non-exclusive backup in the same session,
an error is thrown.

However, previously, in logical replication walsender mode, even if that
walsender session had already called pg_backup_start and started
a non-exclusive backup, it could execute BASE_BACKUP command and
start another non-exclusive backup. Which caused subsequent pg_backup_stop
to throw an error because BASE_BACKUP unexpectedly reset the session state
marked by pg_backup_start.

This commit prevents BASE_BACKUP command in the middle of another
non-exclusive backup in the same session.

Back-patch to all supported branches.
