xmin is a transaction ID number. There is no such conversion
possible.

It would be kind of neat if there were some table into which
transactions were logged; in that case, there would presumably be a
couple of timestamps, namely the time at which the transaction began
and the time at which the transaction ended. There is no such table
by default.
