Fix slot data persistency when advancing physical replication slots
Advancing a physical replication slot with pg_replication_slot_advance()
did not mark the slot as dirty if any advancing was done, preventing the
follow-up checkpoint to flush the slot data to disk. This caused the
advancing to be lost even on clean restarts. This does not happen for
logical slots as any advancing marked the slot as dirty. Per
discussion, the original feature has been implemented so as in the event
of a crash the slot may move backwards to a past LSN. This property is
kept and more documentation is added about that.
This commit adds some new TAP tests to check the persistency of physical
and logical slots after advancing across clean restarts.
