Avoid early reuse of btree pages, causing incorrect query results.

When we allowed read-only transactions to skip assigning XIDs
we introduced the possibility that a fully deleted btree page
could be reused. This broke the index link sequence which could
then lead to indexscans silently returning fewer rows than would
have been correct. The actual incidence of silent errors from
this is thought to be very low because of the exact workload
required and locking pre-conditions. Fix is to remove pages only
if index page opaque->btpo.xact precedes RecentGlobalXmin.

A deleted page can only be reclaimed once there is no scan or search that
has a reference to it; until then, it must stay in place with its
right-link undisturbed. We implement this by waiting until all
transactions that were running at the time of deletion are dead; which is
right-link undisturbed. We implement this by waiting until all active
snapshots and registered snapshots as of the deletion are gone; which is
overly strong, but is simple to implement within Postgres. When marked
dead, a deleted page is labeled with the next-transaction counter value.

older than the oldest open transaction. (NOTE: VACUUM FULL can reclaim

also waits for running XIDs with no snapshots and for snapshots taken
until the next transaction to allocate an XID commits.
