I'm posting a new patchset v28.

I changed the way that the check function works. From the usability
perspective, it is better to test all conditions and reports all errors (if
any) at once. It avoids multiple executions in dry run mode just to figure out
all of the issues in the initial phase. I also included tests for it using
Shlok's idea [1] although I didn't use v27-0004.

Shlok [1] reported that it was failing on Windows since the socket-directory
option was added. I added a fix for it.

Tomas pointed out the documentation [2] does not provide a good high level
explanation about pg_createsubscriber. I expanded the Description section and
moved the prerequisites to Nodes section. The prerequisites were grouped into
target and source conditions on their own paragraph instead of using a list. It
seems more in line with the style of some applications.

As I said in a previous email [3], I removed the retain option.
