Fix - program loading with effective slot at epoch boundary (#35283)

* Always limit effective slot to the begin of the current epoch.

* Adds comments.

* Optimizes to avoid having two entries if there is no relevant feature activation.

* Adds test_feature_activation_loaded_programs_epoch_transition().

(cherry picked from commit 2891ce8)
