Subject: [PATCH] Remove obsolete SLRU wrapping and warnings from predicate.c.

When SSI was developed slru.c was limited to segments files with names in the
range 0000..FFFF.  This didn't allow enough space for predicate.c to store
every possible xid when spilling old transactions to disk, so it would wrap
around sooner and print warnings.  Since commits 638cf09e and 73c986ad
increased the number of segments files slru.c could manage, that behavior is
unnecessary.  Therefore remove that code.
