Description

If HA is configured with replicated journal then it takes some time to backup to synchronize with live server. Once backup is in sync with live then following information appears in server.log:

13:20:00,739 INFO  [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] (Thread-3 (ActiveMQ-client-netty-threads-457000966)) AMQ221024: Backup server ActiveMQServerImpl::serverUUID=bc015b34-fd73-11e5-80ca-1b35f669abb8 is synchronized with live-server.
13:20:01,500 INFO  [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] (Thread-2 (ActiveMQ-server-org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server.impl.ActiveMQServerImpl$2@41f992ab-83559664)) AMQ221031: backup announced

Reading server logs to see whether backup is in sync is not convenient and user friendly way.

We should provide public API to check state of synchronization. It should be added to Activation interface.
This method should be implemented for SharedNothingBackupActivation and also SharedNothingLiveActivation.
