Improve comments for [Heap]CheckForSerializableConflictOut(). 

Rewrite the documentation of these functions, in light of recent bug fix
commit 5940ffb2.

Back-patch to 13 where the check-for-conflict-out code was split up into
AM-specific and generic parts, and new documentation was added that now
looked wrong.
