Hmm.  This patch disallows the case of creating a read-only
subtransaction of a read-write parent.  That's a step backwards.
I'm not sure how we could enforce that the property not change
after the first query of a subxact, but maybe we don't care that much?
Do your optimizations pay attention to local read-only in a subxact?
