I have done some more testing for the clog group update as the
attached test file executes two concurrent scripts executed with
pgbench, the first script is the slow script which will run 10-second
long transactions and the second script is a very fast transaction
with ~10000 transactions per second.  Along with that, I have also
changed the bank size such that each bank will contain just 1 page
i.e. 32k transactions per bank.  I have done this way so that we do
not need to keep long-running transactions running for very long in
order to get the transactions from different banks committed during
the same time.  With this test, I have got that behavior and the below
logs shows that multiple transaction range which is in different
slru-bank (considering 32k transactions per bank) are doing group
update at the same time. e.g. in the below logs, we can see xid range
around 70600, 70548, and 70558, and xid range around 755, and 752 are
getting group updates by different leaders but near the same time.

It is running fine when running for a long duration, but I am not sure
how to validate the sanity of this kind of test.
