Thanks, I agree with adding the function for refactoring and including
assertions for moreLeft or moreRight.

One thing I was concerned about is that "if (scan->xs_want_itup)" was
changed to "if (so->currTuples)". However, this isn’t an issue because
so->currTuples is only initialized if scan->xs_want_itup is set to
true in btrescan(), and it improves consistency with other functions
for index-only scans.

I also confirmed that make check-world passes with the patch.
