  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.

Nope, I was wrong. The block reference data is stored in the WAL
record *before* the main data, so it was wrong to imagine (as I did)
that the alignment of the main data would affect the alignment of the
block data. If anything, it's the other way around. That means that
the only records where this patch could conceivably cause a problem
are those where something is stored in the main data after the main
struct. And there aren't many of those, because an awful lot of record
types have moved to using the block data.

I'm going to go through all the record types one by one before
commenting further.
