Lets consider a following replication setup:
```
primary->standby1->standby2(replicatefrom: standby1)
```
In this case the `primary` will not create a physical replication slot for standby2, because it is streaming from the `standby1`.
Things will look differently if we have the following dynamic configuration:
```yaml
slots:
primary:
type: physical
standby1:
type: physical
standby2:
type: physical
```
In this case `primary` will also have `standby2` physical replication slot, which periodically must be advanced. So far it was working by taking value of `xlog_location` from the `/members/standby2` key in DCS.
But, when DCS is down and failsafe mode is activate, the `standby2` physical slot on the `primary` will not not be moved, because there was not way to get the latest value of `xlog_location`.
This PR is addressing the problem by making replica nodes to return their `xlog_location` as `lsn` header in the response on `POST /failsafe` REST API request. The current primary will use these values to advance replication slots for nodes with `replicatefrom` tag.
