Shouldwe split this check to do each branch of the macro separately, such as:

This is a good point. Right now, you'd have to manually inspect the
infomask field to determine the exact form of the invalid combination.
My only worry with this is that we'd want to make sure these checks
stayed consistent with the definition of HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY in
htup_details.h. I'm guessing HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY is unlikely to
change all that often, though.
