Thanks for the patch! I verified that it appears to reset
lastOverflowedXid properly.

I may not be understanding
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/dc899146dbf0e1d23fb24155a5155826ddce34c9/src/backend/storage/ipc/procarray.c#L1326-L1327
correctly, but isn't lastOverflowedXid the last subxid for a given
top-level XID, so isn't it actually the largest subxid that possibly
exists?
