I was trying to test this utility when 'sync_replication_slots' is on
and it gets in an ERROR loop [1] and never finishes. Please find the
postgresql.auto used on the standby attached. I think if the standby
has enabled sync_slots, you need to pass dbname in
GenerateRecoveryConfig(). I couldn't test it further but I wonder if
there are already synced slots on the standby (either due to
'sync_replication_slots' or users have used
pg_sync_replication_slots() before invoking pg_createsubscriber),
those would be retained as it is on new subscriber and lead to
unnecessary WAL retention and dead rows.
