Add replication command READ_REPLICATION_SLOT
The command is supported for physical slots for now, and returns the
type of slot, its restart_lsn and its restart_tli.
This will be useful for an upcoming patch related to pg_receivewal, to
allow the tool to be able to stream from the position of a slot, rather
than the last WAL position flushed by the backend (as reported by
IDENTIFY_SYSTEM) if the archive directory is found as empty, which would
be an advantage in the case of switching to a different archive
locations with the same slot used to avoid holes in WAL segment
archives.
