I have moved all these contents to a separate section in the
logical-replication page. I have referred to this link from the
documentation of origin and copy_data parameter. I have also referred
to "setting up replication between primaries" in the newly added
section. Since this new section is referred to from other places, I
felt we need not provide a link from create_subscription notes. The
changes for the same are available at [1].
