It's not trustworthy anyway. Xid wraparound might happen during
reconnect. I suspect we can design a test that will show that it does
not always show correct results during xid->2pc conversion (there is a
point in time when xid is not in regular and not in 2pc, and I'm not
sure ProcArrayLock is held). Maybe there are other edge cases.
Anyway, if a user wants to know the status of xid in case of
disconnection they have prepared xacts.
