Thanks for the patch.

As long as we are on it, there is this code block in the test:
my ($xmin, $catalog_xmin) = get_slot_xmins($node_master, $slotname_1);
is($xmin,         '', 'non-cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback');
is($catalog_xmin, '', 'non-cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback');

($xmin, $catalog_xmin) = get_slot_xmins($node_standby_1, $slotname_2);
is($xmin,         '', 'cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback');
is($catalog_xmin, '', 'cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback');

This should be more verbose as the 2nd and 4th test should say
"catalog xmin" instead of xmin.

Also, wouldn't it be better to poll as well node_standby_1's
pg_replication_slot on slotname_2? It would really seem better to make
the nullness check conditional in get_slot_xmins instead. Sorry for
changing opinion here.
