There's still a theoretical possibility for this to happen:
1. A page is marked as deleted by VACUUM, setting xact field in the opaque
2. Master crashes. WAL replay replays the XLOG_BTREE_DELETE_PAGE record.
It resets the xact field to FrozenTransactionId
3. The page is recycled. This writes a XLOG_BTREE_REUSE_PAGE record with
FrozenTransactionId as latestRemovedXid
When the standby replays that, it will call
ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot with FrozenTransactionid, not the
original xid that was used in the master when the page was deleted.
A straightforward way to fix that is to WAL-log the real xid in the
XLOG_BTREE_DELETE_PAGE records, instead of resetting it to
FrozenTransactionId.
