use that field to close the race condition on opening a snapshot.

** pSnapshot, or that there has been one more recently than the last
** checkpoint of any frames greater than pSnapshot->mxFrame was
** started. There is an exception though: client 1 may have called

** the aReadMark[] slot to do so. At the same time, client 2 may
** have committed a new snapshot to disk and started a checkpoint.
** In this circumstance client 1 does not end up reading pSnapshot,
** but may leave the aReadMark[] slot populated.
** (1) The WAL file has been reset since the snapshot was taken.
** In this case, the salt will have changed.
**
** The race condition above is difficult to detect. One approach would
** be to check the aReadMark[] slot for another client. But this is
** prone to false-positives from other snapshot clients. And there
** is no equivalent to xCheckReservedLock() for wal locks. Another
** approach would be to take the checkpointer lock and check that
** fewer than pSnapshot->mxFrame frames have been checkpointed. But
** that does not account for checkpointer processes that failed after
** checkpointing frames but before updating WalCkptInfo.nBackfill.
** And it would mean that this function would block on checkpointers
** and vice versa.
**
** TODO: For now, this race condition is ignored.
