Few minor comments:
===================
1.
+Â * Check if the subscriber's configuration is adequate to enable the
+Â * retain_conflict_info option.

I see some funny characters in patch 0003.

2.
+static void
+drop_conflict_slot_if_exists(void)
+{
+ /*
+ * Avoid the overhead of scanning shared memory for a replication slot
+ * that is known to have been dropped.
+ */
+ if (conflict_slot_dropped)
+ return;

This new variable used here looks odd to me. Do you think we can avoid this?

Apart from this, I have made a number of cosmetic changes in the
attached. Kindly include these in the next version, if these look okay
to you. Also, I think we can combine 0001 and 0002 at this stage, as
both are looking in good shape now.
