Hmm, that's a prettya misleading format for multixid member offsets. And 
for CLOG and other SLRUs too, as they will always show the epoch as 0.

This isn't really a new issue though, the SLRU errors have always said 
"transaction %u", even for multixids and offsets, and that's always been 
a little bogus. And for the pg_async SLRU, we just pass 
InvalidTransactionId.

Can we improve the message with a callback or something, so that it's 
more relevant for the SLRU?
