pg_createsubscriber rejected duplicate --publication values while parsing
command-line options, even when the duplicate names referred to
publications in different databases. Since publication names are
database-local objects, the same name is perfectly valid across multiple
databases.
This restriction was not a practical problem before commit 85ddcc2f4c,
which added support for reusing pre-existing publications. After that
change, users who have identically-named publications in multiple
databases (a common convention) could not use the feature without renaming
their publications.
The analogous restriction on --subscription names is intentionally kept as
they are reused as replication slot names, which are cluster-global, so
allowing duplicate subscription names without additional guards could
cause a slot-name collision. That work is left for a future release.
