Nobody has proposed a different bikeshed color, so I'm going to
proceed with that syntax. I'll incorporate the parallel-machinery
fix from your patch and push to HEAD only (since it's hard to argue
this isn't a new feature).
This needn't foreclose pursuing the various ideas about making
vac_update_datfrozenxid faster; but none of those would eliminate
the fundamental O(N^2) issue AFAICS.
