Agree. I've added a few more checks explicitly to verify the
last_inactive_time is sane with the following:

        qq[SELECT '$last_inactive_time'::timestamptz > to_timestamp(0)
AND '$last_inactive_time'::timestamptz >
'$slot_creation_time'::timestamptz;]

I've attached the v18 patch set here. I've also addressed earlier
review comments from Amit, Ajin Cherian. Note that I've added new
invalidation mechanism tests in a separate TAP test file just because
I don't want to clutter or bloat any of the existing files and spread
tests for physical slots and logical slots into separate existing TAP
files.
