Sounds good suggestion.
While reading the patch again, I found it didn't handle the COMMIT/ABORT
PREPARED case properly. According to the commit e74e090, now
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() returns the timestamp of COMMIT/ABORT PREPARED.
pg_last_xact_insert_timestamp() is mainly expected to be used to calculate
the replication delay, so it also needs to return that timestam. But the patch
didn't change 2PC code at all. We need to add pgstat_report_xact_end_timestamp()
into FinishPreparedTransaction(), RecordTransactionCommitPrepared() or
RecordTransactionAbortPrepared().
