Update the docs and comments for decoding of prepared xacts.

Commit a271a1b50e introduced decoding at prepare time in ReorderBuffer.
This can lead to deadlock for out-of-core logical replication solutions
that uses this feature to build distributed 2PC in case such transactions
lock [user] catalog tables exclusively. They need to inform users to not
have locks on catalog tables (via explicit LOCK command) in such
transactions.
