pgsql: Fix regression with slot invalidation checks

Fix regression with slot invalidation checks

This commit reverts 818fefd8fd4, that has been introduced to address a
an instability in some of the TAP tests due to the presence of random
standby snapshot WAL records, when slots are invalidated by
InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot().

Anyway, this commit had also the consequence of introducing a behavior
regression.  After 818fefd8fd4, the code may determine that a slot needs
to be invalidated while it may not require one: the slot may have moved
from a conflicting state to a non-conflicting state between the moment
when the mutex is released and the moment when we recheck the slot, in
InvalidatePossiblyObsoleteSlot().  Hence, the invalidations may be more
aggressive than they actually have to.

105b2cb3361 has tackled the test instability in a way that should be
hopefully sufficient for the buildfarm, even for slow members:
- In v18, the test relies on an injection point that bypasses the
creation of the random records generated for standby snapshots,
eliminating the random factor that impacted the test.  This option was
not available when 818fefd8fd4 was discussed.
- In v16 and v17, the problem was bypassed by disallowing a slot to
become active in some of the scenarios tested.

While on it, this commit adds a comment to document that it is fine for
a recheck to use xmin and LSN values stored in the slot, without storing
and reusing them across multiple checks.
