This patch may be better, which only track catalog modified transactions.

Subject:&nbsp;Bug report and fix about building historic snapshot



Hello, I find a bug in building historic snapshot and the steps to reproduce 
are as follows:


Prepare:


(pub)create table t1 (id int primary key);



(pub)insert into t1 values (1);



(pub)create publication pub for table t1;



(sub)create table t1 (id int primary key);

Reproduce:



(pub)begin; insert into t1 values (2); (txn1 in session1)



(sub)create subscription sub connection 'hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 user=xxx 
dbname=postgres' publication pub; (pub will switch to BUILDING_SNAPSHOT state 
soon)



(pub)begin; insert into t1 values (3); (txn2 in session2)



(pub)create table t2 (id int primary key); (session3)



(pub)commit; (commit txn1, and pub will switch to FULL_SNAPSHOT state soon)



(pub)begin; insert into t2 values (1); (txn3 in session3)



(pub)commit; (commit txn2, and pub will switch to CONSISTENT state soon)



(pub)commit; (commit txn3, and replay txn3 will failed because its snapshot 
cannot see t2)

Reasons:
We currently don't track the transaction that begin after BUILDING_SNAPSHOT
and commit before FULL_SNAPSHOT when building historic snapshot in logical
decoding. This can cause a transaction which begin after FULL_SNAPSHOT to take
an incorrect historic snapshot because transactions committed in 
BUILDING_SNAPSHOT
state will not be processed by SnapBuildCommitTxn().


To fix it, we can track the transaction that begin after BUILDING_SNAPSHOT and
commit before FULL_SNAPSHOT forcely by using SnapBuildCommitTxn().
