This doesn't seem right to me: it only caches the case where the XID is
found to be present in the snapshot, whereas I think probably we should
remember the result in both cases (present or not).
Moreover, in the subxip-overflowed case where we replace an
originally-inquired-of subxact xid with its parent, what you're caching is
the parent xid, which will fail to match subsequent queries. Shouldn't we
cache the originally inquired-of xid?
The question of whether to cache "false" results perhaps requires some
performance testing.
