  1. Reduce the log level in 035_standby_logical_decoding.pl.

  2. 035_standby_logical_decoding: Add missing waits for replication

  3. For cascading replication, wake physical and logical walsenders separately

  4. Handle logical slot conflicts on standby

  5. Support invalidating replication slots due to horizon and wal_level

  6. Prevent use of invalidated logical slot in CreateDecodingContext()

  7. Replace replication slot's invalidated_at LSN with an enum

  8. Pass down table relation into more index relation functions

  9. Assert only valid flag bits are passed to visibilitymap_set()

  10. Remove unused _bt_delitems_delete() argument.

  11. Add xl_btree_delete optimization.

I gave a very quick look at 0001 and 0003.  I find no fault with 0001.
It was clear back when we added that stuff that invalidated_at was not
terribly useful -- I was just too conservative to not have it -- but now
that a lot of time has passed and we haven't done anything with it,
removing it seems perfectly OK.

As for 0003, I have no further concerns about the translatability.
