I couldn't quite let go of those changes to acquire_sample_rows(), so
attached v9 0001 implements them as a preliminary patch before your
analyze streaming read user. I inlined heapam_scan_analyze_next_block()
entirely and made heapam_scan_analyze_next_tuple() a static function in
commands/analyze.c (and tweaked the name).
I made a few tweaks to your patch since it is on top of those changes
instead of preceding them. Then 0003 is removing BlockSampler_HasMore()
since it doesn't make sense to remove it before the streaming read user
was added.
