Now since we are not changing inactive_since once it is invalidated,
we are not even initializing it during restart; and thus later when
someone tries to use slot, it leads to assert in
ReplicationSlotAcquire() ( Assert(s->inactive_since > 0);
Steps:
--Disable logical subscriber and let the slot on publisher gets
invalidated due to inactive_timeout.
--Enable the logical subscriber again.
--Restart publisher.
a) We should initialize inactive_since when
ReplicationSlotSetInactiveSince() is called from RestoreSlotFromDisk()
even though it is invalidated.
b) And shall we mention in the doc of 'active_since', that once the
slot is invalidated, this value will remain unchanged until we
shutdown the server. On server restart, it is initialized to start
time. Thought?
