Hi,

During patch development I ran into a small problem (see attachment, 
fail_replication.sh):
1. We have a table with logical replication to another node.
2. On the master and replica add such "NOT VALID" domain constraint on 
the table  that some tuples  violates the constraint.
3. UPDATE the table: set value of the tuple that violates constraint to 
correct value.
4. That's all!

The reason for this problem is that on UPDATE walsender sends old tuple 
value (that violates the constraint) with new version (satisfied the 
constraint).
Replication worker at replica node restores slot from transfer 
representation. During this process domain checking constraint and 
returns an ERROR.
Because we can't apply WAL record of the UPDATE command, logical 
replication will be stopped at all.
As I understand, this problem can be reproduced in all postgres versions 
with logical replication feature.
This problem can be solved by many ways and approaches. I wrote the 
patch to solve this problem (see in attachment) by the shortest way.
