Fujii Masao a287fd85d2 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.
