Amit Kapila 7f13ac8123 Fix catalog lookup with the wrong snapshot during logical decoding.
Previously, we relied on HEAP2_NEW_CID records and XACT_INVALIDATION
records to know if the transaction has modified the catalog, and that
information is not serialized to snapshot. Therefore, after the restart,
if the logical decoding decodes only the commit record of the transaction
that has actually modified a catalog, we will miss adding its XID to the
snapshot. Thus, we will end up looking at catalogs with the wrong
snapshot.

To fix this problem, this change adds the list of transaction IDs and
sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during
snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot. After restart or
otherwise, when we restore from such a serialized snapshot, the
corresponding list is restored in memory. Now, when decoding a COMMIT
record, we check both the list and the ReorderBuffer to see if the
transaction has modified catalogs.

Since this adds additional information to the serialized snapshot, we
cannot backpatch it. For back branches, we took another approach.
We remember the last-running-xacts list of the decoded RUNNING_XACTS
record after restoring the previously serialized snapshot. Then, we mark
the transaction as containing catalog changes if it's in the list of
initial running transactions and its commit record has
XACT_XINFO_HAS_INVALS. This doesn't require any file format changes but
the transaction will end up being added to the snapshot even if it has
only relcache invalidations. But that won't be a problem since we use
snapshot built during decoding only to read system catalogs.

This commit bumps SNAPBUILD_VERSION because of a change in SnapBuild.

# For the transaction that TRUNCATEd the table tbl1, the last decoding decodes
# only its COMMIT record, because it starts from the RUNNING_XACTS record emitted
# during the first checkpoint execution. This transaction must be marked as
# containing catalog changes while decoding the COMMIT record and the decoding
# of the INSERT record must read the pg_class with the correct historic snapshot.
#
# Note that in a case where bgwriter wrote the RUNNING_XACTS record between "s0_commit"
# and "s0_begin", this doesn't happen as the decoding starts from the RUNNING_XACTS
# record written by bgwriter. One might think we can either stop the bgwriter or
# increase LOG_SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL_MS but it's not practical via tests.
