Change unit of idle_replication_slot_timeout to seconds.

Previously, the idle_replication_slot_timeout parameter used minutes
as its unit, based on the assumption that values would typically exceed
one minute in production environments. However, this caused unexpected
behavior: specifying a value below 30 seconds would round down to 0,
effectively disabling the timeout. This could be surprising to users.

To allow finer-grained control and avoid such confusion, this commit changes
the unit of idle_replication_slot_timeout to seconds. Larger values can
still be specified easily using standard time suffixes, for example,
'24h' for 24 hours.

Back-patch to v18 where idle_replication_slot_timeout was added.

Invalidate replication slots that have remained idle longer than this
duration. If this value is specified without units, it is taken as
minutes. A value of zero (the default) disables the idle timeout
seconds. A value of zero (the default) disables the idle timeout
invalidation mechanism. This parameter can only be set in the
<filename>postgresql.conf</filename> file or on the server command
line.
