  1. Clear 'xid' in dummy async notify entries written to fill up pages

  2. Fix remaining race condition with CLOG truncation and LISTEN/NOTIFY

  3. Fix bug where we truncated CLOG that was still needed by LISTEN/NOTIFY

  4. Escalate ERRORs during async notify processing to FATAL

  5. Limit the size of TID lists during parallel GIN build

I have the impression that this thread has lost focus on the idea of
producing a backpatchable bugfix.  The last proposed patch has a lot of
new mechanism that doesn't seem suitable for backpatch.  I could be
wrong of course.
