Commit message says: "This change does not advance catalog_xmin.
REPACK already holds a snapshot that prevents catalog dead tuple
removal, so catalog_xmin handling can be addressed independently.".
Isn't it equally important to advance this, otherwise, for long
running REPACKs dead tuples will be accumulated needlessly? If so, do
we have any ideas to avoid this?
