Remove erroneous assertion from pg_copy_logical_replication_slot().

If restart_lsn of logical replication slot gets behind more than
max_slot_wal_keep_size from the current LSN, the logical replication slot
would be invalidated and its restart_lsn is reset to an invalid LSN.
If this logical replication slot with an invalid restart_lsn was specified as
the source slot in pg_copy_logical_replication_slot(), the function caused
the assertion failure unexpectedly.

This assertion was added because restart_lsn should not be invalid before.
But in v13, it can be invalid thanks to max_slot_wal_keep_size. So since this
assertion is no longer useful, this commit removes it.

This commit also changes the errcode in the error message that
pg_copy_logical_replication_slot() emits when the slot with an invalid
restart_lsn is specified, to more appropriate one.

Back-patch to v13 where max_slot_wal_keep_size was added and
the assertion was no longer valid.
