  1. Reduce the log level in 035_standby_logical_decoding.pl.

  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.

Good catch... IMHO it should be incremented as well!!!

Perfect.

verify that pg_stat_database_conflicts.confl_logicalslot is updated as
expected (see check_confl_logicalslot() in
v12-0004-New-TAP-test-for-logical-decoding-on-standby.patch).

LGTM too... Reviewing new changes now to move it forward and make this
patch set ready for commiter review.
