WAL-log inplace update before revealing it to other sessions.

A buffer lock won't stop a reader having already checked tuple
visibility.  If a vac_update_datfrozenid() and then a crash happened
during inplace update of a relfrozenxid value, datfrozenxid could
overtake relfrozenxid.  That could lead to "could not access status of
transaction" errors.  Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions).  In
v14 and earlier, this also back-patches the assertion removal from
commit 7fcf2faf9c7dd473208fd6d5565f88d7f733782b.
