Add support for managing physical replication slots to pg_receivexlog.
pg_receivexlog already has the capability to use a replication slot to
reserve WAL on the upstream node. But the used slot currently has to
be created via SQL.
To allow using slots directly, without involving SQL, add
--create-slot and --drop-slot actions, analogous to the logical slot
manipulation support in pg_recvlogical.
