Done. (This elog(LOG) isn't new BTW, I merely moved it.)

Changed to 64.

The list and contents are explicitly freed when xids end and the locks
are released (because xid committed/aborted, or older than known
oldest running transaction, or we release all on promotion). The
existing code seems to assume that TopMemoryContext is current (or
some context that'll last all the way until our promotion), which
seems OK to me. TopMemoryContext is inherited from PostgresMain() and
any redo handler that changes it without restoring it would be buggy,
and errors are FATAL here.
I had missed one small thing though: I should call hash_destroy() in
ShutdownRecoveryTransactionEnvironment() to free the hash table itself
on promotion. Fixed.
Why does StandbyReleaseLocks() handle an invalid xid by removing all
locks (if (!TransactionIdIsValid(xid) || lock->xid == xid)) in master?
V2 attached.
