In TrimCLOG(), don't reset XactCtl->shared->latest_page_number.

Since the CLOG page number is not recorded directly in the checkpoint
record, we have to use ShmemVariableCache->nextXid to figure out the
latest CLOG page number at the start of recovery. However, as recovery
progresses, replay of CLOG/EXTEND records will update our notion of
the latest page number, and we should rely on that being accurate
rather than recomputing the value based on an updated notion of
nextXid. ShmemVariableCache->nextXid is only an approximation
during recovery anyway, whereas CLOG/EXTEND records are an
authoritative representation of how the SLRU has been updated.

Commit 0fcc2decd485a61321a3220d8f76cb108b082009 makes this
simplification possible, as before that change clog_redo() might
have injected a bogus value here, and we'd want to get rid of
that before entering normal running.

Patch by me, reviewed by Heikki Linnakangas.
