Added.

I checked pg_get_replication_slots() and agreed that pg_replication_slots.conflicting
indicates whether the slot is usable or not. I can use the attribute instead of porting
WALAvailability. Fixed.

The part is not needed anymore.

Actually I do not like the style neither. Peter also said that we can skip checking the
uniqueness, so removed.

I checked whole of the patch and used these shorten macros if the line exceeded
80 columns.
Also, I found a cfbot failure [1] but I could not find any reasons.
I will keep investigating more about it.
