BTW, do you mean a regular timestamp, or a CSN?  The former makes sense
for slurpd, because that's all we have; the latter makes sense for
syncrepl, where the timestamp implies loss in precision.  We could use a
monitorShadowTimeStamp for slurpd replication, which essentially echoes
the latest "now" as used in replog(), and a "monitorSyncReplCSN" for
syncrepl replication, which essentially uses the si_syncCookie field of
the syncinfo_t.  Or use only the latter, and for slurpd replication turn
the timestamp into a CSN.
