Add a new slot sync worker to synchronize logical slots.
By enabling slot synchronization, all the failover logical replication slots on the primary (assuming configurations are appropriate) are automatically created on the physical standbys and are synced periodically. The slot sync worker on the standby server pings the primary server at regular intervals to get the necessary failover logical slots information and create/update the slots locally. The slots that no longer require synchronization are automatically dropped by the worker. The nap time of the worker is tuned according to the activity on the primary. The slot sync worker waits for some time before the next synchronization, with the duration varying based on whether any slots were updated during the last cycle. A new parameter sync_replication_slots enables or disables this new process. On promotion, the slot sync worker is shut down by the startup process to drop any temporary slots acquired by the slot sync worker and to prevent the worker from trying to fetch the failover slots. A functionality to allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will be done in a subsequent commit.
