I guess that TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData(write_xlog=true) is basically
used by some extensions using commit_ts.
IIUC commit_ts_redo() is called during recovery. So it's strange that
commit_ts_redo() calls TransactionTreeSetCommitTsData() with write_xlog=true
because no new WAL can be generated during recovery. Probably this is a bug,
and it should be called with write_xlog=false, instead. Patch attached.
Also one problem is that there is no test for WAL replay of COMMIT_TS_SETTS
for now. Maybe this is why we could not find that bug.
