doc: Update outdated descriptions of wal_status in pg_replication_slots. The documentation for pg_replication_slots previously mentioned only max_slot_wal_keep_size as a condition under which the wal_status column could show unreserved or lost. However, since commit be87200, replication slots can also be invalidated due to horizon or wal_level, and since commit ac0e33136ab, idle_replication_slot_timeout can also trigger this state. This commit updates the description of the wal_status column to reflect that max_slot_wal_keep_size is not the only cause of the lost state. Back-patched to v16, where the additional invalidation cases were introduced.
