Add neon.logical_replication_max_logicalsnapdir_size

This GUC will drop replication slots if the size of the
pg_logical/snapshots directory (not including temp snapshot files)
becomes larger than the specified size. Keeping the size of this
directory smaller will help with basebackup size from the pageserver.
