Fix deferred XLogLogicalInfo update after a failed transaction block.

Previously, a backend with an assigned XID deferred the
XLogLogicalInfo update requested by a procsignal barrier, and we
applied it in AbortTransaction() on abort. However, a failed
transaction block keeps its XID until ROLLBACK, so a barrier absorbed
while idle in that state was deferred, and CleanupTransaction() did
not apply it. The next transaction then ran entirely with the stale
value. If logical decoding had just been enabled, that transaction's
changes were written without logical information and silently skipped
by decoding.

Fix by applying the pending update in CleanupTransaction() instead of
AbortTransaction(). We call it after resetting the top-level XID
because, unlike the commit and prepare paths, CleanupTransaction()
isn't always called with interrupts held, so a barrier absorbed before
the reset would be deferred again and carried into the next
transaction.

Patch by Sergei Patiakin, with tests added by me.

Oversight in commit 67c20979ce7.
