Introduce an abstraction allowing relation data to be accessed as a stream of buffers, with an implementation that is more efficient than the equivalent sequence of ReadBuffer() calls. Client code supplies a callback that can say which block number it wants next, and then consumes individual buffers one at a time from the stream. This division puts read_stream.c in control of how far ahead it can see and allows it to read clusters of neighboring blocks with StartReadBuffers(). It also issues POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED advice ahead of time when random access is detected. Other variants of I/O stream will be proposed in future work (for example to support recovery, whose LsnReadQueue device in xlogprefetcher.c is a distant cousin of this code and should eventually be replaced by this), but this basic API is sufficient for many common executor usage patterns involving predictable access to a single fork of a single relation. Several patches using this API are proposed separately. This stream concept is loosely based on ideas from Andres Freund on how we should pave the way for later work on asynchronous I/O.
