ReplicationSlotRelease() copied MyProc->statusFlags unconditionally  
when resetting PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING, using its pgxactoff to decide  
which area to update.  
  
Slot invalidations can be done by the checkpointer or the startup  
process, and ReplicationSlotRelease() ignored the fact that pgxactoff is  
only meaningful for processes in the proc array, that auxiliary  
processes never join.  pgxactoff would remain at 0 for these, meaning  
that an incorrect set of status flags would be updated.  
  
The consequences of this issue could be various, depending on the  
statsFlags lost in the proc slot incorrectly overwritten.  Losing  
PROC_AFFECTS_ALL_HORIZONS has been mentioned as the worse case, causing  
VACUUM to remove rows a standby may needs even if standby feedback is  
enabled.  Assertions failures are another possibility.  
  
Let's skip the update of statusFlags unless PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING is  
set.  Nothing but StartupDecodingContext() sets it, and no auxiliary  
processes call it.

NOTE TO PACKAGERS: A new distribution tarball is available which simplifies the build process by providing pregenerated HTML documentation, man page, and code. The tarball is attached to each release as an asset and is named pgbackrest-{version}.tar.gz. See the README.md in the tarball for details. Please use the new distribution tarball to avoid the additional build tooling required to generate code in future releases.  
  
NOTE TO PACKAGERS: There is a new optional dependency on libsystemd.  
  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting with this release, only the restore command may be run as root by default. Use allow-root to run other commands as root (though this is not recommended).
