Use the standard lock manager to establish priority order when there

is contention for a tuple-level lock.  This solves the problem of a
would-be exclusive locker being starved out by an indefinite succession
of share-lockers.  Per recent discussion with Alvaro.

  *	heap_lock_tuple		- lock a tuple in shared or exclusive mode
+ *
+ * NOTES: because the shared-memory lock table is of finite size, but users
+ * could reasonably want to lock large numbers of tuples, we do not rely on
+ * the standard lock manager to store tuple-level locks over the long term.
+ * Instead, a tuple is marked as locked by setting the current transaction's
+ * XID as its XMAX, and setting additional infomask bits to distinguish this
+ * usage from the more normal case of having deleted the tuple.  When
+ * multiple transactions concurrently share-lock a tuple, the first locker's
+ * XID is replaced in XMAX with a MultiTransactionId representing the set of
+ * XIDs currently holding share-locks.
+ *
+ * When it is necessary to wait for a tuple-level lock to be released, the
+ * basic delay is provided by XactLockTableWait or MultiXactIdWait on the
+ * contents of the tuple's XMAX.  However, that mechanism will release all
+ * waiters concurrently, so there would be a race condition as to which
+ * waiter gets the tuple, potentially leading to indefinite starvation of
+ * some waiters.  The possibility of share-locking makes the problem much
+ * worse --- a steady stream of share-lockers can easily block an exclusive
+ * locker forever.  To provide more reliable semantics about who gets a
+ * tuple-level lock first, we use the standard lock manager.  The protocol
+ * for waiting for a tuple-level lock is really
+ *		LockTuple()
+ *		XactLockTableWait()
+ *		mark tuple as locked by me
+ *		UnlockTuple()
+ * When there are multiple waiters, arbitration of who is to get the lock next
+ * is provided by LockTuple().  However, at most one tuple-level lock will
+ * be held or awaited per backend at any time, so we don't risk overflow
+ * of the lock table.  Note that incoming share-lockers are required to
+ * do LockTuple as well, if there is any conflict, to ensure that they don't
+ * starve out waiting exclusive-lockers.  However, if there is not any active
+ * conflict for a tuple, we don't incur any extra overhead.
