Add txid_current_ifassigned().

Add a variant of txid_current() that returns NULL if no transaction ID
is assigned.  This version can be used even on a standby server,
although it will always return NULL since no transaction IDs can be
assigned during recovery.

Craig Ringer, per suggestion from Jim Nasby.  Reviewed by Petr Jelinek
and by me.
