This patch is huge, but I think it is not comparable with parallel
processing support or with replication support.

It doesn't introduce new processes or new data structures or does important
changes in planner, and I think so almost all code is very simple.

In early versions of this patch, there was a complex part to ensure
validity of content in memory. But it was fully removed and replaced
just by comparing with create_lsn.
