Few trivial comments:

1)
# Confirm the synced slot 'lsub1_slot' is retained on the new primary
is( $standby1->safe_psql(
'postgres',
- q{SELECT count(*) = 2 FROM pg_replication_slots WHERE slot_name IN
('lsub1_slot', 'snap_test_slot') AND synced AND NOT temporary;}
+ q{SELECT count(*) = 2 FROM pg_replication_slots WHERE slot_name IN
('lsub1_slot', 'snap_test_slot') AND NOT synced AND NOT temporary;}
+
),
't',
'synced slot retained on the new primary');

a)
It is not fault of this patch, but I see comment and query not
matching. We shall have both the names 'lsub1_slot', 'snap_test_slot'
in comment.

b) Also it will be good to mention the expectation from synced flag in
the comment. How about:

Confirm the synced slots 'lsub1_slot' and 'snap_test_slot' are
retained on the new primary and 'synced' flag is cleared on promotion.

2)
As Ashutosh suggested, even in RestoreSlotFromDisk(), we can have
DEBUG1 msg: "synced flag reset for replication slot \"%s\""
