Remove the "snapshot too old" feature.

Remove the old_snapshot_threshold setting and mechanism for producing
the error "snapshot too old", originally added by commit 848ef42b.
Unfortunately it had a number of known problems in terms of correctness
and performance, mostly reported by Andres in the course of his work on
snapshot scalability.  We agreed to remove it, after a long period
without an active plan to fix it.

This is certainly a desirable feature, and someone might propose a new
or improved implementation in the future.
