One seldom-taken code path unintentionally emitted a WAL record
One seldom-taken code path incorrectly emitted a WAL record
relating to a BRIN index even if the index was marked unlogged.
Crash recovery would then fail to replay that record, complaining
that the file already exists.

Send a nontransactional invalidation message for an in-place update,
since such an update will survive transaction rollback. Also ensure

These fixes primarily prevent scenarios in which relations'
frozen-XID attributes become inconsistent, possibly allowing
premature CLOG truncation and subsequent <quote>could not access
status of transaction</quote> errors.
