Hello,
Following recommendations, I stripped most of the features from the patch. For
now we support only physical replication slots, and only provide the two fields
of interest (restart_lsn, restart_tli) in addition to the slot type (fixed at
physical) to not paint ourselves in a corner.
I also removed the part about pg_basebackup since other fixes have been
proposed for that case.

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/3] Use READ_REPLICATION_SLOT command in pg_receivewal.
Prior to this patch, when running pg_receivewal, the start LSN is determined by looking at
the WAL files currently stored on disk, then using the current flush lsn
from the server.
If for some reason the WAL files from pg_receivewal were moved, we want
to restart where we left at, which is the replication slot's restart_lsn
instead of skipping right to the current flush location.
To keep compatibility with prior server versions, we only attempt it if
the version is < 15.
