pgindent reported that the new comments added need to be re-adjusted,
here is an updated patch for the same.
I also verified the following: a) patch applies neatly on HEAD b) make
check-world passes c) pgindent looks good d) pgperltiy was fine e)
meson test runs were successful. Also checked that CFBot run was fine
for the last patch.

Subject: [PATCH v9] Persist logical slots to disk during a shutdown checkpoint
 if required.

It's entirely possible for a logical slot to have a confirmed_flush LSN
higher than the last value saved on disk while not being marked as dirty.
Currently, it is not a major problem but a later patch adding support for
the upgrade of slots relies on that value being properly persisted to disk.

It can also help avoid processing the same transactions again in some
boundary cases after the clean shutdown and restart. Say, we process some
transactions for which we didn't send anything downstream (the changes got
filtered) but the confirm_flush LSN is updated due to keepalives. As we
don't flush the latest value of confirm_flush LSN, it may lead to
processing the same changes again without this patch.
