886a02d1cb Add a txn_start column to pg_stat_activity. This makes it easier to 
identify long-running transactions. Since we already need to record
the transaction-start time (e.g. for now()), we don't need any
additional system calls to report this information.

Catversion bumped, initdb required.

c184470be3 Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level 
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction
overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost.  It seems

988a87a03a Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-added 
vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random
spot in the middle as in the original patch.  This was deemed more usable
as well as less likely to break existing application code.  initdb forced
accordingly.  In passing, remove former kluge for initializing
pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently
so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.

48188e1621 Fix recently-understood problems with handling of XID freezing, particularly 
in PITR scenarios.  We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases.  Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId.  Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done.  Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database.  initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs.  Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.
