I agreed with adding <literal> tag to "failover" since it is done in the
description on "slot_name" parameter.
How about also rewrite it to "enable the failover option" rather than simply
"enable the failover" to clarify that the parameter is refereed to.
We could also use "enable the failover parameter". I think both make sense, but
it seems that "failover option" is preferred in the slot_name description.
