If you want to do that, I'm unenthusiastically not objecting. But if so,
let's also do it in IdentifySystem(), SendTimeLineHistory(),
StartReplication(), SendBackupHeader(), SendXLogRecPtResult() - they're
modeled after each other.

Do you want to commit the slot_name with the rest or do you want me to
do that?
