Fix intermittent BF failure in 040_standby_failover_slots_sync.

Commit 0d2d4a0 introduced a test that verifies replication slot synchronization to a standby server via SQL API. However, the test did not configure synchronized_standby_slots. Without this setting, logical failover slots can advance beyond the physical replication slot, causing intermittent synchronization failures.
