Yeah, in the old coding, SnapshotResetXmin would have happened
implicitly at the last UnregisterSnapshot call. In this arrangement,
the "last UnregisterSnapshot" is going to be the manual one in
AtEOXact_Snapshot, so we need a manual SnapshotResetXmin there too.
I chose to put it at the bottom of the routine so that it's guaranteed
to fire even if the RegisteredSnapshots count was corrupted, but that's
just paranoia.
