Use READ_COMMITTED serialization level in CreateSyntheticHEA (#1395)

I observed an instance in which a couple queries from this action were,
for whatever reason, hanging around as idle for >30 minutes. Assuming
the behavior that we saw before where "an open idle serializable
transaction means all pg read-locks stick around forever" still holds,
that's the reason why the amount of read-locks in use spirals out of
control.

I'm not sure why those queries aren't timing out, but that's a separate
issue.
