Right, I think you can remove the change related to stream xact and
probably write some comments on why we don't need it for streamed
transactions. But, now I have another question related to fixing the
non-streamed case. What if after the missing spec_confirm we get the
delete operation in the transaction? It seems
ReorderBufferToastReplace always expects Insert/Update if we have
toast hash active in the transaction.
