Replica identities that depend directly on an index rely on a set of properties, one of them being that all the columns defined in this index have to be marked as NOT NULL. There was a hole in the logic with ALTER TABLE DROP NOT NULL, where it was possible to remove the NOT NULL property of a column part of an index used as replica identity, so block it to avoid problems with logical decoding down the road. The same check was already done columns part of a primary key, so the fix is straight-forward.
