Currently, decoding session that relies on database-specific xl_running_xacts
WAL records can also use some information of cluster-wide records and vice
versa. Although this approach might reduce the total number of
xl_running_xacts records, it's simply not correct.

SnapBuildProcessRunningXacts() now decides at the very beginning whether
particular record can be used or not.
