Log Message:
-----------
Change the timestamps recorded in transaction commit/abort xlog records
from time_t to TimestampTz representation. This provides full gettimeofday()
resolution of the timestamps, which might be useful when attempting to
do point-in-time recovery --- previously it was not possible to specify
the stop point with sub-second resolution. But mostly this is to get
rid of TimestampTz-to-time_t conversion overhead during commit. Per my
proposal of a day or two back.
