* (XMIN_COMMITTED) or (d) moved by the currently running

* (a) a tuple in a system catalog, inserted or deleted

* (b) known dead (XMIN_INVALID, or XMAX_COMMITTED and xmax

* (c) inserted by a committed xact (XMIN_COMMITTED)

* (e) deleted (XMAX_COMMITTED) but at least one active
* transaction does not see the deleting transaction

* In case (b) we cannot be here, because scan_heap() has
* already marked the item as unused, see continue above. Case
* (c) is what normally is to be expected. Case (d) is only
* possible, if a whole tuple chain has been moved while
* processing this or a higher numbered block.
