Thanks for the review! I’ve addressed the comments for Approach 2, as
it seems the most suitable. We can revisit the others if needed.

We allow creating subscriptions in this scenario as long as no
prepared transactions exist before the two_phase_at. Similarly,
altering a subscription to set failover = true is permitted, provided
the slot's restart_lsn is greater than two_phase_at.
Amit has suggested the ways at [1] in which users can enable both
failover and two_phase together.
I've updated the commit message to include more details about the
conditions enforced by the fix.

Corrected the check as it should be checking if copy_data is
specified. Thanks for the input!
Please find the attached v6 patch for approach-2 fix on PG17.
