Properly re-initialize replication slot shared memory upon creation.
Slot creation did not clear all fields upon creation. After start the memory is zeroed, but when a physical replication slot was created in the shared memory of a previously existing logical slot, catalog_xmin would not be cleared. That in turn would prevent vacuum from doing its duties. To fix initialize all the fields. To make similar future bugs less likely, zero all of ReplicationSlotPersistentData, and re-order the rest of the initialization to be in struct member order.
