Hi,

While working on pg_replslotdata tool [1], it was observed that some
of the replication slot structures/enums/macros such as
ReplicationSlotPersistentData, ReplicationSlotPersistency,
ReplicationSlotOnDisk, ReplicationSlotOnDiskXXXX etc. are currently in
replication/slot.h and replication/slot.c. This makes the replication
slot on disk data structures unusable by the external tools/modules.
How about moving these structures to a new header file called
slot_common.h as attached in the patch here?

Thoughts?

PS: I'm planning to have the tool separately, as it was rejected to be in core.
