Reset lastOverflowedXid on standby when needed

akorotkov · akorotkov · commit 8f779a1a3eb6 · 2021-11-06T18:34:21.000+03:00
Currently, lastOverflowedXid is never reset. It's just adjusted on new transactions known to be overflowed. But if there are no overflowed transactions for a long time, snapshots could be mistakenly marked as suboverflowed due to wraparound. This commit fixes this issue by resetting lastOverflowedXid when needed altogether with KnownAssignedXids. Backpatch to all supported versions.
