+1 for the idea.  In BackendXidFindCutOffReason() you have directly
reported using NOTICE I believe that is just to show the idea and you
are planning to append this to the main message?  Apart from that we
are looping the whole pgprocarray, however it is only done when we are
vacuuming with verbose mode so might not be that bad.
