I'd have gone with snapmgr.h/c for consistency with existing filenames
(bufmgr, lmgr, etc).

I don't like that very much. What about just moving the HTSU_Result
enum's declaration somewhere else? Two possibilities are heapam.h
itself, or the new snapshot.h file (which'd then have to be included
by heapam.h, but it seems lightweight enough that that's not too
terrible).
