I looked at it. I think it is better to make the calls to
ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredLSN() in slot.c (which is where most other
calls to that function are). Also we should recompute the minimum
required Xmin at that point.

Another change I did was move the "*invalidated=true" assignment to the
block where we actually invalidate the slot; in your patch you were
doing it possibly too early if the slot was in use by some other
process. (For end effect it probably doesn't matter much, but it's
better to have it right.)
