pgsql: Optionally don't error out due to preexisting slots in commandli

From

Date:
Optionally don't error out due to preexisting slots in commandline utilities.

pg_receivexlog and pg_recvlogical error out when --create-slot is
specified and a slot with the same name already exists. In some cases,
especially with pg_receivexlog, that's rather annoying and requires
additional scripting.

Backpatch to 9.5 as slot control functions have newly been added to
pg_receivexlog, and there doesn't seem much point leaving it in a less
useful state.
