Hello,

Trying to revive this patch which attempts to support logical decoding of
two phase transactions. I've rebased and polished Nikhil's patch on the
current HEAD. Some of the logic in the previous patchset has already been
committed as part of large-in-progress transaction commits, like the
handling of concurrent aborts, so all that logic has been left out. I think
some of the earlier comments have already been addressed or are no longer
relevant. Do have a look at the patch and let me know what you think.I will
try and address any pending issues going forward.
