Peter Geoghegan f214960add Update obsolete heap pruning comments.
Add new comments that spell out what VACUUM expects from heap pruning:
pruning must never leave behind DEAD tuples that still have tuple
storage.  This has at least been the case since commit 8523492d, which
established the principle that vacuumlazy.c doesn't have to deal with
DEAD tuples that still have tuple storage directly, except perhaps by
simply retrying pruning (to handle a rare corner case involving
concurrent transaction abort).

In passing, update some references to old symbol names that were missed
by the snapshot scalability work (specifically commit dc7420c2c9).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
