Multixid that is used in heap is WAL-logged. WAL-logged multixact has non-zero
offset.
So in non-corrupted database such as condition is impossible.
However, I observed several incidents when AI recommended pg_resetwal to users.
Proposed safeguard might be useful to prevent sprawling corruption in database.

The patch simplifies the code while maintaining correctness.
The only issue I can think of is that clog, commit_ts and async are still using
approach based on SlruScanDirectory().
