Once we've completed a PREPARE, our session is not running a transaction,
so its entry in pg_stat_activity should show xact_start as null, rather
than leaving the value as the start time of the now-prepared transaction.

I think possibly this oversight was triggered by faulty extrapolation
from the adjacent comment that says PrepareTransaction should not call
AtEOXact_PgStat, so tweak the wording of that comment.

Noted by Andres Freund while considering bug #10123 from Maxim Boguk,
although this error doesn't seem to explain that report.

Back-patch to all active branches.
