Prevent inconsistent use of stats entry for replication slots
Concurrent activity around replication slot creation and drop could cause a replication slot to use a stats entry it should not have used when created, triggering an assertion failure when retrieving an inconsistent entry from the dshash table used by the stats facility. The issue is that pgstat_drop_replslot() calls pgstat_drop_entry() without checking the result. If pgstat_drop_entry() cannot free the entry related to the object dropped, pgstat_request_entry_refs_gc() should be called. AtEOXact_PgStat_DroppedStats() and surrounding routines dropping stats entries already do that. This is documented in pgstat_internal.h, but let's add a comment at the top of pgstat_drop_entry() as that can be easy to miss.
