The logical decoding machinery already preserved all the required
catalog tuples, which is sufficient in the course of normal logical
decoding, but did not guarantee that non-catalog tuples were preserved
during computation of the initial snapshot when creating a slot over
the replication protocol.
This could cause a corrupted initial snapshot being exported. The
time window for issues is usually not terribly large, but on a busy
server it's perfectly possible to it hit it. Ongoing decoding is not
affected by this bug.
To avoid increased overhead for the SQL API, only retain additional
tuples when a logical slot is being created over the replication
protocol. To do so this commit changes the signature of
CreateInitDecodingContext(), but it seems unlikely that it's being
used in an extension, so that's probably ok.
In a drive-by fix, fix handling of
ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin's already_locked argument, which
should only apply to ProcArrayLock, not ReplicationSlotControlLock.
