Disallow negative values for max_retention_duration.
The subscription option max_retention_duration accepts an integer value
representing a timeout in milliseconds, where zero means unlimited
retention (no timeout). Negative values have no useful meaning, but were
silently accepted and stored in the subscription catalog.
A negative value causes should_stop_conflict_info_retention() to always
return true, because TimestampDifferenceExceeds() treats a negative
threshold as already exceeded. This stops dead tuple retention
immediately rather than honoring the configured timeout.
Fix by rejecting negative values for max_retention_duration during CREATE
SUBSCRIPTION and ALTER SUBSCRIPTION.
