Yes, I realised after I wrote it that PostPrepare already does that
switch, just been busy with other stuff to switch over the code.
I think we do need some special code because of handling whole lock
queues. i.e. if there is a backend requesting an AEL but a prepared xact
has it, the lock queue will initially be Backend->Startup and needs to
end up looking like Backend->DummyProc.
