IDs in SGML are case insensitive, and we have accumulated a mix of upper
and lower case IDs, including different variants of the same ID. In
XML, these will be case sensitive, so we need to fix up those
differences. Going to all lower case seems most straightforward, and
the current build process already makes all anchors and lower case
anyway during the SGML->XML conversion, so this doesn't create any
difference in the output right now. A future XML-only build process
would, however, maintain any mixed case ID spellings in the output, so
that is another reason to clean this up beforehand.

For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name. Add a warning option to catch future
occurrences.

For CREATE/ALTER PUBLICATION/SUBSCRIPTION, use similar option style as
other statements that use a WITH clause for options.

It turned out this approach had problems, because a DROP command should
not have any options other than CASCADE and RESTRICT. Instead, always
attempt to drop the slot if there is one configured, but also add an
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION action to set the slot to NONE.

Add functionality for a new subscription to copy the initial data in the
tables and then sync with the ongoing apply process.
For the copying, add a new internal COPY option to have the COPY source
data provided by a callback function. The initial data copy works on
the subscriber by receiving COPY data from the publisher and then
providing it locally into a COPY that writes to the destination table.
A WAL receiver can now execute full SQL commands. This is used here to
obtain information about tables and publications.
Several new options were added to CREATE and ALTER SUBSCRIPTION to
control whether and when initial table syncing happens.
Change pg_dump option --no-create-subscription-slots to
--no-subscription-connect and use the new CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
... NOCONNECT option for that.

Disallow CREATE SUBSCRIPTION and DROP SUBSCRIPTION in a transaction
block when the replication slot is to be created or dropped, since that
cannot be rolled back.

Add link to description of libpq connection strings. Add link to
explanation of replication access control. This currently points to the
description of streaming replication access control, which is currently
the same as for logical replication, but that might be refined later.
Also remove plain-text passwords from the examples, to not encourage
that dubious practice.
