As revealed by DBZ-2288, those snapshotting modes which are not using a snapshot exported by the replication slot are prone to missing events originating from concurrent transactions that happen while the snapshot is running.

- Make use of exported snapshots for all snapshot modes
- Deprecate the "exported" mode; for now, it will simply be an alias to "initial"
