In the replication server configuration documentation[0], there are 
3 sections: sending, primary, standby, and subscriber. These sections 
mention various GUCs and how they apply to each server configuration.

The max_replication_slots GUC is mentioned twice, once in the sending 
section[1]:

> [...]
>
> Note that this parameter also applies on the subscriber side, but with 
> a different meaning.

and another time in the subscriber section[2]:

> [...]
>
> Note that this parameter also applies on a sending server, but with 
> a different meaning.

We can aid users that read these sections of the docs by adding links to 
the max_replication_slots GUC description which the texts refer to.

Here is a patch which does so.
