Actually, I think for SerializableXidHash we should probably just
initially allocate it at its maximum size. Then it'll match the
PredXact list which is allocated in full upfront, and there's no risk
of being able to allocate a transaction but not register its xid. In
fact, I believe there would be no way for starting a new serializable
transaction to fail.
