Fix recovery of 2PC transaction during crash recovery

A crash in the middle of a checkpoint with some two-phase state data
already flushed to disk by this checkpoint could cause a follow-up crash
recovery to recover twice the same transaction, once from what has been
found in pg_twophase/ at the beginning of recovery and a second time
when replaying its corresponding record.

This would lead to FATAL failures in the startup process during
recovery, where the same transaction would have a state recovered twice
instead of once:
LOG:  recovering prepared transaction 731 from shared memory
LOG:  recovering prepared transaction 731 from shared memory
FATAL:  lock ExclusiveLock on object 731/0/0 is already held

This issue is fixed by skipping the addition of any 2PC state coming
from a record whose equivalent 2PC state file has already been loaded in
TwoPhaseState at the beginning of recovery by restoreTwoPhaseData(),
which is OK as long as the system has not reached a consistent state.

The timing to get a messed up recovery processing is very racy, and
would very unlikely happen.  The thread that has reported the issue has
demonstrated the bug using injection points to force a PANIC in the
middle of a checkpoint.

Issue introduced in 728bd99, so backpatch all the way down.
