xxx_desc() functions are debugging purpose functions as they are used
by pg_waldump and pg_walinspect etc. I think such functions should
show all contents unless there is reason to hide them. Particularly,
standby_desc_running_xacts() currently shows subtransaction
information only when subtransactions are overflowed, which got me
confused when inspecting WAL records.
