Thanks for updating the patches !

Here are some comments:

1.

 bool		reap_child(bool wait_for_child);
+
+XLogRecPtr	strtoLSN(const char *str, bool *have_error);

This function has be removed.

2.

+		else

+					 nslots_on_new);

We could try ngettext() here:
		pg_log_warning(ngettext("New cluster must not have logical replication slots but found %d slot.",
								"New cluster must not have logical replication slots but found %d slots",
								nslots_on_new)

3.
-	create_script_for_old_cluster_deletion(&deletion_script_file_name);
-

Is there a reason for reordering this function ? Sorry If I missed some
previous discussions.

I think the assert is not necessary, as the patch will check the new cluster's
slots in another function. Besides, this function is not only used for new
cluster, but the comment only mentioned the new cluster which seems a bit
inconsistent. So, how about removing it ?

I think we need to set max_slot_wal_keep_size on new cluster as well, otherwise
it's possible that the new created slots get invalidated during upgrade, what
do you think ?

6.

+	bool		is_lost;		/* Is the slot in 'lost'? */
+} LogicalSlotInfo;

Would it be better to use 'invalidated', as the same is used in error message
of ReportSlotInvalidation() and logicaldecoding.sgml.

+			pg_fatal("The source cluster contains one or more problematic logical replication slots.\n"

I think we should do this pg_fatal out of the for() loop, otherwise we cannot
collect all the problematic slots.
