Currently, pg_visibility computes its xid horizon using the GetOldestNonRemovableTransactionId(). The problem is that this horizon can sometimes go backward. That can lead to reporting false errors. In order to fix that, this commit implements a new function GetStrictOldestNonRemovableTransactionId(). This function computes the xid horizon, which would be guaranteed to be newer or equal to any xid horizon computed before. We have to do the following to achieve this. 1. Ignore processes xmin's, because they consider connection to other databases that were ignored before. 2. Ignore KnownAssignedXids, because they are not database-aware. At the same time, the primary could compute its horizons database-aware. 3. Ignore walsender xmin, because it could go backward if some replication connections don't use replication slots. As a result, we're using only currently running xids to compute the horizon. Surely these would significantly sacrifice accuracy. But we have to do so to avoid reporting false errors. Inspired by earlier patch by Daniel Shelepanov and the following discussion with Robert Haas and Tom Lane.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
