Standardize rmgrdesc recovery conflict XID output.
Standardize on the name snapshotConflictHorizon for all XID fields from WAL records that generate recovery conflicts when in hot standby mode. This supersedes the previous latestRemovedXid naming convention. The new naming convention places emphasis on how the values are actually used by REDO routines. How the values are generated during original execution (details of which vary by record type) is deemphasized. Users of tools like pg_waldump can now grep for snapshotConflictHorizon to see all potential sources of recovery conflicts in a standardized way, without necessarily having to consider which specific record types might be involved. Also bring a couple of WAL record types that didn't follow any kind of naming convention into line. These are heapam's VISIBLE record type and SP-GiST's VACUUM_REDIRECT record type. Now every WAL record whose REDO routine calls ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot() passes through the snapshotConflictHorizon field from its WAL record. This is follow-up work to the refactoring from commit 9e540599 that made FREEZE_PAGE WAL records use a standard snapshotConflictHorizon style XID cutoff. No bump in XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since the underlying format of affected WAL records doesn't change.
