Subject: [PATCH] doc: Move synchronized_standby_slots to "Primary Server"
 section.

synchronized_standby_slots is defined in guc_parameter.dat as part of
the REPLICATION_PRIMARY group and is listed under the "Primary Server"
section in postgresql.conf.sample. However, in the documentation
its description was previously placed under the "Sending Servers" section.

Since synchronized_standby_slots only takes effect on the primary server,
this commit moves its documentation to the "Primary Server" section to
match its behavior and other references.

Backpatch to v17 where synchronized_standby_slots was added.
