All right, I did that in the attached version, using Simon's suggested
name. I also fixed up various comments (especially in
InitProcGlobal), fixed the --enable-cassert build (which was busted),
and added code to save/restore PreparedXactProcs in EXEC_BACKEND mode
(which I assume is necessary, though the regression tests failed to
fail without it).
I'm wondering about the changes to how globalxmin is computed in
GetSnapshotData(). That seems like it could hurt performance in the
single-client case, and especially in the case where there is one
active connection and lots of idle connections, and I'm wondering how
thoroughly we've tested that particular bit apart from these other
changes.
