According to the original thread [1], there was a wide consensus replication-related
operations can be rejected, except the slot removal. I feel this is reasonable.
Currently pg_drop_replication_slot() requires the droping slot can be acquired,
so we cannot reject it in single user mode as-is. Maybe we should revive the 0002
patch in [1] then try to do that. Thought?
