My previous commit disallowed this operation, but did nothing about cleaning up the damage if one had already been done. With the operation disallowed, it's okay to just forcibly clear xmax in a sequence's tuple, since any value seen there could not represent a live transaction's lock. So, any sequence-specific operation will repair the problem automatically, whether or not the user has already seen "could not access status of transaction" failures.
