That change is in the path node which we anyway not going to target as
part of this change. We only want to change the display for actual
rows in Explain Analyze. So, I can't see how the quoted change can
help in any way.

Few miscellaneous comments:
========================
*
static FullTransactionId XactTopFullTransactionId = {InvalidTransactionId};
-static int nParallelCurrentXids = 0;
+static int nParallelCurrentXids = 0;

I don't see why this change is required.

* Can you please add a comment explaining why we are making this
change for actual rows?

* Can you please write a test case unless there is some existing test
that covers the change by displaying actual rows values in decimal but
in that case patch should have that changed output test? If you don't
think we can reliably write such a test then please let me know the
reason?
