Fix hash index vs "snapshot too old" problemms
Hash indexes are not WAL-logged, and so do not maintain the LSN of index pages. Since the "snapshot too old" feature counts on detecting error conditions using the LSN of a table and all indexes on it, this makes it impossible to safely do early vacuuming on any table with a hash index, so add this to the tests for whether the xid used to vacuum a table can be adjusted based on old_snapshot_threshold. While at it, add a paragraph to the docs for old_snapshot_threshold which specifically mentions this and other aspects of the feature which may otherwise surprise users. Problem reported and patch reviewed by Amit Kapila
