Repack workers cannot work on standbys, and for 2PC files we have the
guarantee of a file on disk if the WAL is gone, so they should be
basically irrelevant here.  That's why I did not mention them.  :)

Everything's now done.  I was pondering about v14 and v15 for a bit
for the second patch regarding pg_walinspect (or slot operations), but
I could not get excited about these branches.  pg_walinspect is less
used, and slots have much more uses on standbys since v16~, so
expanding that further down feels meh.
