Now that that's done, here's an updated version of that patch.  Note the
new logic to trigger xl_running_xact's to be logged at the right spot.
Works well in my testing.

I plan to commit this fairly soon, unless somebody wants a bit more time
to look into it.

Unless somebody protests, I'd like to slightly revise how the on-disk
snapshots are stored on master - given the issues this bug/commit showed
with the current method - but I can see one could argue that that should
rather be done next release.
