HOT updates in index-less tables

If a table has no indexes, we will always decide that any same-page
update operation is a HOT update, since obviously it isn't modifying
any indexed columns.  But is there any benefit to doing so?  I don't
see one offhand, and it has a downside: we're very likely to
encounter broken HOT chains if an index is created later.  That leads
to the sort of unexpected behavior exhibited here:

I'm thinking maybe HeapSatisfiesHOTUpdate should be changed so that it
always returns false if the relation has no indexes, which could be
checked cheaply via relation->rd_rel->relhasindex.
