Amit Kapila e3ff789acf Stop demanding that top xact must be seen before subxact in decoding.
Manifested as

ERROR:  subtransaction logged without previous top-level txn record

this check forbids legit behaviours like
 - First xl_xact_assignment record is beyond reading, i.e. earlier
   restart_lsn.
 - After restart_lsn there is some change of a subxact.
 - After that, there is second xl_xact_assignment (for another subxact)
   revealing the relationship between top and first subxact.

Such a transaction won't be streamed anyway because we hadn't seen it in
full.  Saying for sure whether xact of some record encountered after
the snapshot was deserialized can be streamed or not requires to know
whether it wrote something before deserialization point --if yes, it
hasn't been seen in full and can't be decoded. Snapshot doesn't have such
info, so there is no easy way to relax the check.
