Right. +1 to keep the behaviour consistent for all invalidations.
However, an assertion that inactive_timeout isn't set for synced slots
on the standby isn't a bad idea because we rely on the fact that
walsenders aren't started for synced slots. Again, I think it misses
the consistency in the invalidation behaviour.
