Remember to reset yy_start state when firing up repl_scanner.l.

Without this, we get odd behavior when the previous cycle of lexing exited in a non-default exclusive state. Every other copy of this code is aware that it has to do BEGIN(INITIAL), but repl_scanner.l did not get that memo. The real-world impact of this is probably limited, since most replication clients would abandon their connection after getting a syntax error. Still, it's a bug. This mistake is old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1874781.1643035952@sss.pgh.pa.us
