Noah Misch d798ea750d Revive "snapshot too old" with wal_level=minimal and SET TABLESPACE.
Given a permanent relation rewritten in the current transaction, the
old_snapshot_threshold mechanism assumed the relation had never been
subject to early pruning.  Hence, a query could fail to report "snapshot
too old" when the rewrite followed an early truncation.  ALTER TABLE SET
TABLESPACE is probably the only rewrite mechanism capable of exposing
this bug.  REINDEX sets indcheckxmin, avoiding the problem.  CLUSTER has
zeroed page LSNs since before old_snapshot_threshold existed, so
old_snapshot_threshold has never cooperated with it.  ALTER TABLE
... SET DATA TYPE makes the table look empty to every past snapshot,
which is strictly worse.  Back-patch to v13, where commit
c6b92041d3 broke this.

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:

	https://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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
