Fixed the typo.

I would like to clarify that once a slot is invalidated due to any of
the reasons (ReplicationSlotInvalidationCause), it becomes unusable;
the sender will error out if the receiver tries to use it. This is
consistent with all existing slot invalidation mechanisms.

Please find the attached v6 patches fixing the typo for further review.
