Attached is another revision, also just to keep CFBot happy following
a conflict introduced on master. Nothing really new here (I've been
working on batching on the table AM side, but nothing to show on that
just yet).
One minor thing to note about this revision: I added a comment to
selfuncs.c's that notes that there's an unfixed bug there. That code
more or less copies the approach used by nodeIndexonlyscan.c, but
neglects to take the same precautions around the read
stream/prefetching see different pages as all-visible that the view
seen on the consumer side.
ISTM that the right fix there is to totally rethink the interface such
that the read stream is directly owned by the table AM. That way we
won't have to work around inconsistent ideas around which heap pages
are all-visible because there'll only be one view of that, in a single
place. We won't have to do anything special in either selfuncs.c or in
nodeIndexonlyscan.c.
