Fix broken Assert() introduced by 8e9a16a

Don't assert MultiXactIdIsRunning if the multi came from a tuple that had been share-locked and later copied over to the new cluster by pg_upgrade. Doing that causes an error to be raised unnecessarily: MultiXactIdIsRunning is not open to the possibility that its argument came from a pg_upgraded tuple, and all its other callers are already checking; but such multis cannot, obviously, have transactions still running, so the assert is pointless. Noticed while investigating the bogus pg_multixact/offsets/0000 file left over by pg_upgrade, as reported by Andres Freund in http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20140530121631.GE25431@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch to 9.3, as the commit that introduced the buglet.
