Fix the handling of the failover option in subscription commands.

Do not allow ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET (failover = on|off) in a
transaction block as the changed failover option of the slot can't be
rolled back. For the same reason, we refrain from altering the replication
slot's failover property if the subscription is created with a valid
slot_name and create_slot=false.
