John Naylor 37a6e5df37 Optimize xid/subxid searches in XidInMVCCSnapshot().
As reported by Yura Sokolov, scanning the snapshot->xip array has
noticeable impact on scalability when there are a large number of
concurrent writers. Use the optimized (on x86-64) routine from b6ef16756
to speed up searches through the [sub]xip arrays. One benchmark showed
a 5% increase in transaction throughput with 128 concurrent writers,
and a 50% increase in a pathological case of 1024 writers. While a hash
table would have scaled even better, it was ultimately rejected because
of concerns around code complexity and memory allocation. Credit to Andres
Freund for the idea to optimize linear search using SIMD instructions.
