Removing HOT-updated, dead tuples is a bit complicated. It needs to be
done one HOT-chain at a time, and the root line pointer needs to be
updated to the next live tuple in the chain. lazy_scan_heap() calls the
regular pruning function heap_page_prune() to deal with those before
doing the normal scan of line pointers.
