Fix synchronized_standby_slots GUC check hook
The validate_sync_standby_slots subroutine requires an LWLock, so it
cannot run in processes without PGPROC; skip it there to avoid a crash.
This replaces the current test for ReplicationSlotCtl being not null,
which appears to be a solution for the same problem but less general.
I also rewrote a related comment that mentioned ReplicationSlotCtl in
StandbySlotsHaveCaughtup.
This code came in with commit bf279ddd1c28; backpatch to 17.
