Properly re-initialize replication slot shared memory upon creation.

Slot creation did not clear all fields upon creation. After start the
memory is zeroed, but when a physical replication slot was created in
the shared memory of a previously existing logical slot, catalog_xmin
would not be cleared. That in turn would prevent vacuum from doing its
duties.

To fix initialize all the fields. To make similar future bugs less
likely, zero all of ReplicationSlotPersistentData, and re-order the
rest of the initialization to be in struct member order.
