Merge #154982 #155100

154982: changefeedccl: partially revert periodic aggregator frontier flushing r=KeithCh,asg0451 a=andyyang890

This patch partially reverts adfa889
since that change appears to have caused `TestChangefeedNemeses` to
start failing for the `cloudstorage` sink. The change aggregator will
now once again flush its frontier only if either its frontier has
advanced or some of its spans are lagging.

Fixes #154325

Release note: None

155100: kvserver: add vmodule logging for TestReplicateQueueSeesLearnerOrJointConfig r=wenyihu6 a=wenyihu6
