    Allow special SKIP LOCKED condition in Assert() · f185f35a
    Alvaro Herrera authored
    Under concurrency, it is possible for two sessions to be merrily locking
    and releasing a tuple and marking it again as HEAP_XMAX_INVALID all the
    while a third session attempts to lock it, miserably fails at it, and
    then contemplates life, the universe and everything only to eventually
    fail an assertion that said bit is not set.  Before SKIP LOCKED that was
    indeed a reasonable expectation, but alas! commit df630b0d falsified
    it.
    
    This bug is as old as time itself, and even older, if you think time
    begins with the oldest supported branch.  Therefore, backpatch to all
    supported branches.
