Thank you for updating the patch.

I'm not even sure that we need to have setter functions like
replorigin_xact_set_{origin,lsn_timestamp} given that
replorigin_xact_state is exposed. While the reset helper function
helps us as it removes duplicated codes and some potential accidents
like wrongly setting -1 as an invalid timestamp etc. these setter
functions don't so much. So I think we can have the patch just
consolidating the separated variables. What do you think?
