Thanks for testing. I have been thinking about the minimum xmin and
LSN computations on advancing, and actually I have switched the
recomputing to be called at the end of pg_replication_slot_advance().
This may be a waste if no advancing is done, but it could also be an
advantage to enforce a recalculation of the thresholds for each
function call. And that's more consistent with the slot copy, drop
and creation.

We could do that. Now I found cleaner the direct comparison of
pg_replication_slots.restart before and after the restart. So I have
kept it.
