Use snapshot to check tuple visibility in pre-update state (#28)
When multiple tables are updated or the view contains a self-join,
we need to calculate table states that was before it is modified
during incremental view maintenance. For get the pre-update state,
tuples inserted in a command must be removed when the table is scanned.

Previously, we used xmin and cmin system columns for this purpose,
but this way is problematic because after a tuple is frozen, its xmin
no longer has any meaning. Actually, we will get inconsistent view
results after XID wraparound.

Also, we can see similar similar inconsistency when using sub-transaction
because xmin values do not always monotonically increasing by command
executions.

To fix this, we use a snapshot that taken just before the table is
modified for checking tuple visibility in pre-state table instead of
using xmin and cmin system columns. A new function returning boolean,
ivm_visible_in_prestate, is added, and this is called in WHERE clause
of sub-queries to calculate pre-state table. This function check if a
specified tuple in the post-update table is visible or not using the
snapshot and return true if the tuple is visible.
