Put back a backwards-compatible version of sampling support functions.

Commit 83e176ec18d2a91dbea1d0d1bd94c38dc47cd77c removed the longstanding
support functions for block sampling without any consideration of the
impact this would have on third-party FDWs.  The new API is not notably
more functional for FDWs than the old, so forcing them to change doesn't
seem like a good thing.  We can provide the old API as a wrapper (more
or less) around the new one for a minimal amount of extra code.
