The new approach for invalidation looks clean. BTW, I see minor
inconsistency in the following two error messages (errmsg):

if (MyReplicationSlot->data.invalidated == RS_INVAL_WAL)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE),
errmsg("can no longer get changes from replication slot \"%s\"",
NameStr(MyReplicationSlot->data.name)),
errdetail("This slot has been invalidated because it exceeded the
maximum reserved size.")));

if (MyReplicationSlot->data.invalidated != RS_INVAL_NONE)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE),
errmsg("cannot read from logical replication slot \"%s\"",
NameStr(MyReplicationSlot->data.name)),
errdetail("This slot has been invalidated because it was conflicting
with recovery.")));

Won't it be better to keep the same errmsg in the above two cases?
