This was an unintended behavior (resetting slot's two_phase property
when user tries to mark two_phase for a subscription where two_phase
was already set) which was previously working and has the risk of the
same bugs as noted in the commit message. I don't know if in practice
any one would be using such a combination, so it is not clear to me if
there is a need to mention it in release notes. We can wait and see if
Bertrand has any thoughts on the same.
