I agree that the synopsis doesn't need to be updated. Attached patch clarifies
the required options for each action in the documentation. Thought?

BTW, I'm curious why --dbname isn't required for the --drop-slot action. When I ran
pg_recvlogical --drop-slot without --dbname, I got the following error:

pg_recvlogical: error: could not establish database-specific replication connection
