Log Message:
-----------
Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction
overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost. It seems
unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...
