This reverts commit 74ac377d75135e02064fc4427bec401277b4f60c.

The previous change contained a misconception about how publications
are cleaned up on the subscriber. The newly added log message could
confuse users, particularly when running pg_createsubscriber with
--dry-run - users would see a "dropping publication" message
immediately followed by a "no publications found" message.
