Revert "Use group updates when setting transaction status in clog." 

This reverts commit ccce90b3.  This
optimization is unsafe, at least, of rollbacks and rollbacks to
savepoints, but I'm concerned there may be other problematic cases as
well.  Therefore, I've decided to revert this pending further
investigation.
