Thanks for looking into this. I noticed that the v8 patches needed
rebase. Before I go do anything with the patches, I'm trying to gain
consensus on the design. Following is the summary of design choices
we've discussed so far:
1) conflict_reason vs invalidation_reason.
2) When to compute the XID age?
3) Where to do the invalidations? Is it in the checkpointer or
autovacuum or some other process?
4) Interaction of these new invalidations with sync slots on the standby.

I hope to get on to these one after the other.
