/* ----------------
 *	GetNewTransactionId
 *
 *	In the version 2 transaction system, transaction id's are
 *	restricted in several ways.
 *
 *	First, all transaction id's are even numbers (4, 88, 121342, etc).
 *	This means the binary representation of the number will never
 *	have the least significent bit set.  This bit is reserved to
 *	indicate that the transaction id does not in fact hold an XID,
 *	but rather a commit time.  This makes it possible for the
 *	vaccuum daemon to disgard information from the log and time
 *	relations for committed tuples.  This is important when archiving
 *	tuples to an optical disk because tuples with commit times
 *	stored in their xid fields will not need to consult the log
 *	and time relations.
 *
 *	Second, since we may someday preform compression of the data
 *	in the log and time relations, we cause the numbering of the
 *	transaction ids to begin at 512.  This means that some space
 *	on the page of the log and time relations corresponding to
 *	transaction id's 0 - 510 will never be used.  This space is
 *	in fact used to store the version number of the postgres
 *	transaction log and will someday store compression information
 *	about the log.
 *
 *	Lastly, rather then access the variable relation each time
 *	a backend requests a new transction id, we "prefetch" 32
 *	transaction id's by incrementing the nextXid stored in the
 *	var relation by 64 (remember only even xid's are legal) and then
 *	returning these id's one at a time until they are exhausted.
 *  	This means we reduce the number of accesses to the variable
 *	relation by 32 for each backend.
 *
 *  	Note:  32 has no special significance.  We don't want the
 *	       number to be too large because if when the backend
 *	       terminates, we lose the xid's we cached.
