Avoid consuming an XID during vac_truncate_clog().
vac_truncate_clog() uses its own transaction ID as the comparison point in
a sanity check that no database's datfrozenxid has already wrapped around
"into the future". That was probably fine when written, but in a lazy
vacuum we won't have assigned an XID, so calling GetCurrentTransactionId()
causes an XID to be assigned when otherwise one would not be. Most of the
time that's not a big problem ... but if we are hard up against the
wraparound limit, consuming XIDs during antiwraparound vacuums is a very
bad thing.
Instead, use ReadNewTransactionId(), which not only avoids this problem
but is in itself a better comparison point to test whether wraparound
has already occurred.
Report and patch by Alexander Korotkov. Back-patch to all versions.
