Reset lastOverflowedXid on standby when needed

Currently, lastOverflowedXid is never reset.  It's just adjusted on new
transactions known to be overflowed.  But if there are no overflowed
transactions for a long time, snapshots could be mistakenly marked as
suboverflowed due to wraparound.

This commit fixes this issue by resetting lastOverflowedXid when needed
altogether with KnownAssignedXids.

Backpatch to all supported versions.
