Description

Various enhancements to the replicator:

• sha#1d5fe2aa allow the use of replicator checkpoints to be optional on the source database (i.e. write access to the source db is not necessary. The tradeoff is that if this option is specified, that a failed replication must restart without a checkpoint.

• sha#08cac68 - include reason for replication failure in _replicator doc

• sha#0693f98 - allow the replication checkpoint to be configurable in replication parameters
  use_checkpoints = true,
  checkpoint_interval = 5000
