I don't think "change the test" is the right response here.
I think the problem is that we're disconnecting from the slot at the
wrong step of backend shutdown, and that we need to fix that before
it bites us on some more painful parts of our anatomies.  You can't
just throw darts at the code when deciding where to do things, and
proc.c is NOT the place that should be concerned with replication
slots.
