Fix bug in early startup of Hot Standby with subtransactions.

simonat2ndQuadrant · simonat2ndQuadrant · commit 9d091e05464d · 2012-06-08T17:36:10.000+01:00
When HS startup is deferred because of overflowed subtransactions, ensure
that we re-initialize KnownAssignedXids for when both existing and incoming
snapshots have non-zero qualifying xids.

Fixes bug #6661 reported by Valentine Gogichashvili.
