1. I would propose to inline it. It is used in a single place,
and now it looks like if we would have more than 1 place where
we would need the promote body.

But more interestingly, it looks you could keep it a single
function xrow_encode_synchro. Although we wouldn't be able to
have a PACKED struct with predefined fields. Not a big deal
anyway.

The reasoning is similar to xrow_encode_dml(). It also uses
a single struct request for all kinds of DML, and conditionally
encodes the non-zero fields. I think your case is the same. It
would simplify some code, and remove branching from other
places. For example, from txn_limbo_write_synchro(), where you
branch between PROMOTE and non-PROMOTE when decide what to encode.
We even had the same issue when tried to encode CONFIRM and
ROLLBACK via separate functions.

2. Unnecessary change. But I don't mind, up to you.
