> Rework subtransaction commit protocol for hot standby.

I think this patch broke something.  In CVS HEAD, replay of a
transaction commit record with a subtransaction dies with an assert
failure:

I can't reproduce this 100% reliably, but the case where I saw it came
from mistakenly inserting
        Assert(!IsA(node, AppendRelInfo));
into flatten_join_alias_vars_mutator and then running the serial
regression tests.  This case *can* happen, but it doesn't occur
until late in the regression tests.  The recovery ensuing from the
assert failure crashes maybe one time in two --- likely has something
to do with when the last checkpoint happened.

                        regards, tom lane
