Well, I think we should move setting hot updated into infomask as well,
then rename fix_infomask_from_infobits to set_infomask_from_infobits and
such. I want to get this fix and the heap_update stuff in now, before
the beta, with time to fix potential fallout. So it's the minimal fix,
if I do it...

Mumble.  I don't see any way that this would matter, but I don't object
to doing the cleanup in master only.

Yea, I can't see anything else right now.

Yea, I was thinking of that as well. But there's code like
htup->t_infomask &= ~(HEAP_XMAX_BITS | HEAP_MOVED);
htup->t_infomask2 &= ~HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED;
if (hot_update)
HeapTupleHeaderSetHotUpdated(htup);
else
HeapTupleHeaderClearHotUpdated(htup);
fix_infomask_from_infobits(xlrec->old_infobits_set, 
>t_infomask,
   
>t_infomask2);

so I'd rather only clean this up in master.

Yes, it looks broken, and the consequences for prepared xacts should be
pretty obvious.  Other than those, I think it's pretty innocuous.

Maybe we should change fix_infomask_from_infobits() to reset
HEAP_XMAX_BITS | HEAP_MOVED too (and HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED I suppose), to
avoid doing it in each callsite.
