Thanks. I did one more iteration on this: I realized that the error we
now printed for errors on pg_multixact/members always printed the
failing offset, whereas before this patch we usually printed the failing
*multixid* that the member is part of. Printing the multixid might
actually be more useful; the offset can more easily be deduced from the
segment filename and physical offset that is printed anyway, but it's
harder to know which multixid it belongs to. This printing the
originating multixid seems useful. If things go badly wrong and you need
to do manual debugging of a corrupted database, the multixid can more
easily be compared with the xmax in the heap and with pg_waldump output,
for example.
We can print both, per attached, which is even better. This is perhaps
overkill, but then again, if you hit an error like this, you really
appreciate any extra information you can get.
