Allow UNLISTEN in hot-standby mode.

Since LISTEN is (still) disallowed, UNLISTEN must be a no-op in a
hot-standby session, and so there's no harm in allowing it.  This
change allows client code to not worry about whether it's connected
to a primary or standby server when performing session-state-reset
type activities.  (Note that DISCARD ALL, which includes UNLISTEN,
was already allowed, making it inconsistent to reject UNLISTEN.)

Per discussion, back-patch to all supported versions.
