Peter Geoghegan 8a879119a1 Use fake LSNs to improve nbtree dropPin behavior.
Use fake LSNs in all nbtree critical sections that write a WAL record.
That way we can safely apply the _bt_killitems LSN trick with logged and
unlogged indexes alike.  This brings the same benefits to plain scans of
unlogged relations that commit 2ed5b87f brought to plain scans of logged
relations: scans will drop their leaf page pin eagerly (by applying the
"dropPin" optimization), which avoids blocking progress by VACUUM.  This
is particularly helpful with applications that allow a scrollable cursor
to remain idle for long periods.

Preparation for an upcoming commit that will add the amgetbatch
interface, and switch nbtree over to it (from amgettuple) to enable I/O
prefetching.  The index prefetching read stream's effective prefetch
distance is adversely affected by any buffer pins held by the index AM.
At the same time, it can be useful for prefetching to read dozens of
leaf pages ahead of the scan to maintain an adequate prefetch distance.

The index prefetching patch avoids this tension by always eagerly
dropping index page pins of the kind traditionally held as an interlock
against unsafe concurrent TID recycling by VACUUM (essentially the same
way that amgetbitmap routines have always avoided holding onto pins).
The work from this commit makes that possible during scans of nbtree
unlogged indexes -- without our having to give up on setting LP_DEAD
bits on index tuples altogether.

Follow-up to commit d774072f, which moved the fake LSN infrastructure
out of GiST so that it could be used by other index AMs.
