That inplace150 patch turned out to be unnecessary.  Contrary to the
"noncritical resource releasing" comment some lines above
AtEOXact_Inval(true), the actual behavior is already to promote ERROR to
PANIC.  An ERROR just before or after sending invals becomes PANIC, "cannot
abort transaction %u, it was already committed".  Since
inplace130-AtEOXact_RelationCache-comments existed to clear the way for
inplace150, inplace130 also becomes unnecessary.  I've removed both from the
attached v2 patch stack.

    Remove comment about xl_heap_inplace "AT END OF STRUCT".
    
    Commit 2c03216d831160bedd72d45f712601b6f7d03f1c moved the tuple data
    from there to the buffer-0 data.  Back-patch to v12 (all supported
    versions), the plan for the next change to this struct.

Commit:     Noah Misch <n...@leadboat.com>

    For inplace update, send nontransactional invalidations.
    
    The inplace update survives ROLLBACK.  The inval didn't, so another
    backend's DDL could then update the row without incorporating the
    inplace update.  In the test this fixes, a mix of CREATE INDEX and ALTER
    TABLE resulted in a table with an index, yet relhasindex=f.  That is a
    source of index corruption.
    
    Core code no longer needs XLOG_INVALIDATIONS, but this leaves removing
    it for future work.  Extensions could be relying on that mechanism, so
    that removal would not be back-patch material.  Back-patch to v12 (all
    supported versions).
