Perhaps something like "synchronized_standby_slots"?
IMHO that might be a bit too close to synchronous_standby_names. But the name might not be the only issue, as there is a separate proposal [0] to add _another_ GUC to tie standby_slot_names to synchronous replication. I wonder if this could just be a Boolean parameter or if folks really have use-cases for both a list of synchronous standbys and a separate list of synchronous standbys for failover slots.
