The initialization order in update_cached_xid_range() was wrong, calling
FullTransactionIdFromXidAndCtx() before setting
->next_xid. FullTransactionIdFromXidAndCtx() uses ->next_xid.

In most situations this will not cause visible issues, because the next call
to update_cached_xid_range() will use a less wrong ->next_xid. It's rare that
xids advance fast enough for this to be a problem.

Found while adding more asserts to the 64bit xid infrastructure.
