Added this check.
Apart from this I have also fixed the following issues that were
agreed on: a) Setting slots to dirty in CheckPointReplicationSlots
instead of setting it in SaveSlotToPath b) The comments were moved
from ReplicationSlot and moved to CheckPointReplicationSlots c) Tests
will be run in autovacuum = off d) updating last_saved_confirmed_flush
based on cp.slotdata.confirmed_flush rather than
slot->data.confirmed_flush.
I have also added the commitfest entry for this at [1].
Thanks to Ashutosh/Amit for the feedback.
Attached v7 version patch has the changes for the same.
