ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredLSN() is careful enough to discard slots
which have their restart_lsn set to InvalidXLogRecPtr, so they are not
accounted within the minimum LSN calculated for segment retention.  Any
fake value added by a user advancing a non-reserved slot is.

At the end, are their any objections into fixing the issue and
tightening the advancing API?
