Don't MultiXactIdIsRunning when in recovery

Browse Source 
In 9.1 and earlier, it is possible for index_getnext() to try to examine
a heap buffer for possible HOT-prune when in recovery; this causes a
problem when a multixact is found in a tuple's Xmax, because
GetMultiXactIdMembers refuses to run when in recovery, raising an error:
	ERROR:  cannot GetMultiXactIdMembers() during recovery

This can be solved easily by having MultiXactIdIsRunning always return
false when in recovery, which is reasonable because a HOT standby cannot
acquire further tuple locks nor update/delete tuples.

(Note: it doesn't look like this specific code path has a problem in
9.2, because instead of doing HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate directly,
heap_hot_search_buffer uses HeapTupleIsSurelyDead instead.  Still, there
may be other paths affected by the same bug, for instance in pgrowlocks,
and the multixact code hasn't changed; so apply the same fix
throughout.)

Apply this fix to 9.0 through 9.2.  In 9.3 the multixact code has been
changed completely and is no longer subject to this problem.
