And it is happening in bootstrap, meaning that the data folder is most
likely toast, and needs to be reinitialized.  TransactionLogFetch()
treats bootstrap and frozen XIDs as always committed, so from this
perspective it is not wrong either to complain that this transaction
has already been committed when attempting to abort it.  Not sure
what's a more user-friendly behavior in this case though.
