Re: Skip collecting decoded changes of already-aborted transactions

Hi Sawada-San.

Some review comments for patch v13-0002.

======

I think the v12 ambiguity of RBTXN_PREPARE versus RBTXN_SENT_PREPARE
was mostly addressed already by the improved comments for the macros
in patch 0001.

Meanwhile, patch v13-0002 says it is renaming constants for better
consistency, but I don't think it went far enough.

For example, better name consistency would be achieved by changing
*all* of the constants related to prepared transactions:

#define RBTXN_IS_PREPARED          0x0040
#define RBTXN_IS_PREPARED_SKIPPED  0x0080
#define RBTXN_IS_PREPARED_SENT 0x0200

where:

RBTXN_IS_PREPARED. This means it's a prepared transaction. (but we
can't tell from this if it is skipped or sent).

RBTXN_IS_PREPARED_SKIPPED. This means it's a prepared transaction
(RBTXN_IS_PREPARED) and it's being skipped.

RBTXN_IS_PREPARED_SENT. This means it's a prepared transaction
(RBTXN_IS_PREPARED) and we've sent it.

~

A note about RBTXN_IS_PREPARED. Since all of these constants are
clearly about transactions (e.g. "TXN" in prefix "RBTXN_"), I felt
patch 0002 calling this RBTXN_IS_PREPARED_TXN just seemed like adding
a redundant _TXN. e.g. we don't say RBTXN_IS_COMMITTED_TXN etc.
