I am not so sure about adding ApplyLauncher in front of this function
name. I see most others exposed from this file add such a prefix, but
this one looks odd to me as it has nothing specific to the launcher,
though we use it in launcher? How about
CreateConflictDetectionSlot(void)?

2.
 static void
 create_logical_replication_slots(void)
 {
+ if (!count_old_cluster_logical_slots())
+ return;
+

Doing this count twice (once here and once at the caller of
create_logical_replication_slots) seems redundant.

Apart from the above, attached please find a diff patch atop 0001,
0002, 0003. I think the first three patches look in a reasonable shape
now, can we merge them (0001, 0002, 0003)?
