Fix leaking of small spilled subtransactions during logical decoding.

When, during logical decoding, a transaction gets too big, it's
contents get spilled to disk. Not just the top-transaction gets
spilled, but *also* all of its subtransactions, even if they're not
that large themselves.  Unfortunately we didn't clean up
such small spilled subtransactions from disk.

Fix that, by keeping better track of whether a transaction has been
spilled to disk.
