Fix documentation of "must be vacuumed within" warning. 

Warnings start 10M transactions before xidStopLimit, which is 11M
transactions before wraparound.  The sample WARNING output showed a
value greater than 11M, and its HINT message predated commit
25ec228ef7.  Hence, the sample was
impossible.  Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions).
