Here's a backpatch of that to 9.3 and 9.4.
I tested this by creating a 9.2 installation with an out-of-range
multixact, and verified that after upgrading this to 9.3 it fails with
the "apparent wraparound" message in VACUUM. With this patch applied,
it silently removes the multixact.
I will clean this up and push to all branches after the tagging of
9.6beta2 on Monday.
