The following crash occurs while upgrading:

This can happen in the following case:
1) Setup a logical replication cluster with enough data so that it
will take at least few minutes to upgrade
2) Stop the publisher node
3) Configure replication_slot_inactive_timeout and checkpoint_timeout
to 30 seconds
4) Upgrade the publisher node.

This is happening because logical replication slots are getting
invalidated during upgrade and there is an assertion which checks that
the slots are not invalidated.
I feel this can be fixed by having a function similar to
check_max_slot_wal_keep_size which will make sure that
replication_slot_inactive_timeout is 0 during upgrade.
