This removes a never-used CacheInvalidateHeapTupleInplace() parameter.
It adds README content about inplace update visibility in logical
decoding. It rewrites other comments.
Back-patch to v18, where commit 243e9b40f1
first appeared. Since this removes a CacheInvalidateHeapTupleInplace()
parameter, expect a v18 ".abi-compliance-history" edit to follow. PGXN
contains no calls to that function.
