Fix the review comments and a bug in the slot sync code. Ensure that when updating the catalog_xmin of the synced slots, it is first written to disk before changing the in-memory value (effective_catalog_xmin). This is to prevent a scenario where the in-memory value change triggers a vacuum to remove catalog tuples before the catalog_xmin is written to disk. In the event of a crash before the catalog_xmin is persisted, we would not know that some required catalog tuples have been removed and the synced slot would be invalidated. Change the sanity check to ensure that remote_slot's confirmed_flush LSN can't precede the local/synced slot during slot sync. Note that the restart_lsn of the synced/local slot can be ahead of remote_slot. This can happen when slot advancing machinery finds a running xacts record after reaching the consistent state at a later point than the primary where it serializes the snapshot and updates the restart_lsn. Make the check to sync slots robust by allowing to sync only when the confirmed_lsn, restart_lsn, or catalog_xmin of the remote slot is ahead of the synced/local slot.
