Andres Freund 0fd38e1370 Don't skip SQL backends in logical decoding for visibility computation.
The logical decoding patchset introduced PROC_IN_LOGICAL_DECODING flag
PGXACT flag, that allows such backends to be skipped when computing
the xmin horizon/snapshots. That's fine and sensible for walsenders
streaming out logical changes, but not at all fine for SQL backends
doing logical decoding. If the latter set that flag any change they
have performed outside of logical decoding will not be regarded as
visible - which e.g. can lead to that change being vacuumed away.

Note that not setting the flag for SQL backends isn't particularly
bothersome - the SQL backend doesn't do streaming, so it only runs for
a limited amount of time.

Per buildfarm member 'tick' and Alvaro.

Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
