Thanks for the updated patches.
Currently, we allow an empty string for conflict_log_destination:
postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub1 CONNECTION 'dbname=postgres
host=localhost port=5432'  PUBLICATION pub1 WITH
(conflict_log_destination = '');
NOTICE:  created replication slot "sub1" on publisher
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION

postgres=# SELECT subconflictlogdest FROM pg_subscription WHERE
subname = 'sub1';
 subconflictlogdest
--------------------
 log
(1 row)

However, this is inconsistent with the behavior of the other
subscription options, which all reject an empty string. For example:
postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub2 ... WITH (origin = '');
ERROR:  unrecognized origin value: ""

postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub2 ... WITH (streaming = '');
ERROR:  streaming requires a Boolean value or "parallel"

postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub2 ... WITH (copy_data = '');
ERROR:  copy_data requires a Boolean value

postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub2 ... WITH (wal_receiver_timeout = '');
ERROR:  invalid value for parameter "wal_receiver_timeout": ""

postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub2 ... WITH (max_retention_duration = '');
ERROR:  max_retention_duration requires an integer value

postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub2 ... WITH (slot_name = '');
ERROR:  replication slot name "" is too short

I think conflict_log_destination should behave consistently with the
other subscription options and reject an empty string rather than
silently treating it as log. If there is a specific reason for
accepting '', it would be good to document that behavior.
