Initialize TransactionState and user ID consistently at transaction start
If a failure happens when a transaction is starting between the moment the transaction status is changed from TRANS_DEFAULT to TRANS_START and the moment the current user ID and security context flags are fetched via GetUserIdAndSecContext(), or before initializing its basic fields, then those may get reset to incorrect values when the transaction aborts, leaving the session in an inconsistent state. One problem reported is that failing a starting transaction at the first query of a session could cause several kinds of system crashes on the follow-up queries. In order to solve that, move the initialization of the transaction state fields and the call of GetUserIdAndSecContext() in charge of fetching the current user ID close to the point where the transaction status is switched to TRANS_START, where there cannot be any error triggered in-between, per an idea of Tom Lane. This properly ensures that the current user ID, the security context flags and that the basic fields of TransactionState remain consistent even if the transaction fails while starting.
