Use FullTransactionId for the transaction stack.

Provide GetTopFullTransactionId() and GetCurrentFullTransactionId().
The intended users of these interfaces are access methods that use
xids for visibility checks but don't want to have to go back and
"freeze" existing references some time later before the 32 bit xid
counter wraps around.

Use a new struct to serialize the transaction state for parallel
query, because FullTransactionId doesn't fit into the previous
serialization scheme very well.
