  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

Thanks for the reproduction. Finally I could reproduce the behaviour.
It occurs once in 7-8 runs of the test on my machine. The issue is :
on master, the catalog_xmin does not immediately get updated. It
happens only after the hot standby feedback reaches on master. And I
haven't used wait_for_xmins() for these failing cases. I should use
that. Working on the same ...
