Hi, yes, it should never happen, but thanks for making the changes.

I would've just removed every local variable instead of adding more of
them. I also felt the iteration starting from RS_INVAL_NONE instead of
0 is asserting RS_INVAL_NONE must always be the first enum and can't
be rearranged. Probably it will never happen, but why require it?

------
ReplicationSlotInvalidationCause
GetSlotInvalidationCause(const char *conflict_reason)
{
for (ReplicationSlotInvalidationCause cause = 0; cause <=
RS_INVAL_MAX_CAUSES; cause++)
if (strcmp(SlotInvalidationCauses[cause], conflict_reason) == 0)
return cause;

Assert(0);
return RS_INVAL_NONE;
}
------

But maybe those nits are a matter of personal choice. Your patch code
addressed my main concern, so it LGTM.
