During logical decoding, we need to know if particular transaction performed
catalog changes because catalog information is needed to construct heap
tuples. To be sure that we have enough information of each transaction, the
logical decoding cannot start before all the already running transactions have
completed.

The problem with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is that it has XID assigned and writes
WAL records marked with it. Thus if another backend runs REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)
and tries to setup the logical decoding, it has to wait for the completion of
all the other transactions involved in REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

However, REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) does not perform any catalog changes relevant
to logical decoding, so the other backends executing this command can ignore
it. This patch implements it by adding information about transactions
executing the command to the xl_running_xacts WAL record, and by teaching the
snapshot builder to use the information.
