In the above messages, we can even directly say "commit prepared
transaction" but as you have written appears clear to me.

For timestamp, related messages, we have three different messages:
Commit timestamp of the transaction. The value is in number of
microseconds since PostgreSQL epoch (2000-01-01).
Prepare timestamp of the transaction. The value is in number of
microseconds since PostgreSQL epoch (2000-01-01).
Rollback timestamp of the transaction. The value is in number of
microseconds since PostgreSQL epoch (2000-01-01).

We can improve by saying "Timestamp of prepared transaction" for the
second one but it will make it bit inconsistent with others, so not
sure if changing it makes sense or if there is a better way to change
all the three messages.

Thoughts?
