Using READ_REPLICATION_SLOT as the command name is fine, and it could
be extended with more fields if necessary, implemented now with only
what we think is useful. Returning errors on cases that are still not
supported yet is fine, say for logical slots if we decide to reject
the case for now, and testrictions can always be lifted in the
future.
