Stabilize 035_standby_logical_decoding.pl.

Some tests try to invalidate logical slots on the standby server by
running VACUUM on the primary. The problem is that xl_running_xacts was
getting generated and replayed before the VACUUM command, leading to the
advancement of the active slot's catalog_xmin. Due to this, active slots
were not getting invalidated, leading to test failures.

We fix it by skipping the generation of xl_running_xacts for the required
tests with the help of injection points. As the required interface for
injection points was not present in back branches, we fixed the failing
tests in them by disallowing the slot to become active for the required
cases (where rows_removed conflict could be generated).
