Fujii Masao 802dc79df6 Remove replication slot advice from MultiXact wraparound hints
Previously, MultiXactId wraparound hints suggested dropping stale
replication slots. While that advice is appropriate for transaction ID
wraparound, where replication slots can hold back XID horizons,
it was misleading for MultiXactId wraparound. Following it could lead
users to drop replication slots unnecessarily without helping resolve
the MultiXactId wraparound condition.

MultiXact cleanup is not directly delayed by replication slots.
Instead, it depends on whether old MultiXactIds can still be seen
as live by running transactions.

This commit removes the replication slot advice from MultiXactId
wraparound hints, and documents that stale replication slots are
normally not relevant to resolving MultiXactId wraparound problems.

Backpatch to all supported branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
