Combine freezing and pruning steps in VACUUM
Execute both freezing and pruning of tuples in the same
heap_page_prune() function, now called heap_page_prune_and_freeze(),
and emit a single WAL record containing all changes. That reduces the
overall amount of WAL generated.
This moves the freezing logic from vacuumlazy.c to the
heap_page_prune_and_freeze() function. The main difference in the
coding is that in vacuumlazy.c, we looked at the tuples after the
pruning had already happened, but in heap_page_prune_and_freeze() we
operate on the tuples before pruning. The heap_prepare_freeze_tuple()
function is now invoked after we have determined that a tuple is not
going to be pruned away.
VACUUM no longer needs to loop through the items on the page after
pruning. heap_page_prune_and_freeze() does all the work. It now
returns the list of dead offsets, including existing LP_DEAD items, to
the caller. Similarly it's now responsible for tracking 'all_visible',
'all_frozen', and 'hastup' on the caller's behalf.
