Remove remants of "snapshot too old"

Remove the 'whenTaken' and 'lsn' fields from SnapshotData. After the
removal of the "snapshot too old" feature, they were never set to a
non-zero value.

This largely reverts commit 3e2f3c2e423, which added the
OldestActiveSnapshot tracking, and the init_toast_snapshot()
function. That was only required for setting the 'whenTaken' and 'lsn'
fields. SnapshotToast is now a constant again, like SnapshotSelf and
SnapshotAny. I kept a thin get_toast_snapshot() wrapper around
SnapshotToast though, to check that you have a registered or active
snapshot. That's still a useful sanity check.
