Seems this commit left behind a couple unnecessary prototypes in a bunch
of header files. In particular, it removed these functions

- ShutdownCLOG();
- ShutdownCommitTs();
- ShutdownSUBTRANS();
- ShutdownMultiXact();

but we still have

$ git grep ShutdownCLOG
src/include/access/clog.h:extern void ShutdownCLOG(void);
