Post-commit review fixes for 228c370868.

This commit fixes three issues:

1) When a disabled subscription is created with retain_dead_tuples set to true,
the launcher is not woken up immediately, which may lead to delays in creating
the conflict detection slot.

Creating the conflict detection slot is essential even when the subscription is
not enabled. This ensures that dead tuples are retained, which is necessary for
accurately identifying the type of conflict during replication.

2) Conflict-related data was unnecessarily retained when the subscription does
not have a table.

3) Conflict-relevant data could be prematurely removed before applying
prepared transactions on the publisher that are in the commit critical section.

This issue occurred because the backend executing COMMIT PREPARED was not
accounted for during the computation of oldestXid in the commit phase on
the publisher. As a result, the subscriber could advance the conflict
slot's xmin without waiting for such COMMIT PREPARED transactions to
complete.

We fixed this issue by identifying prepared transactions that are in the
commit critical section during computation of oldestXid in commit phase.
