Improve handling of dead tuples in hash indexes.

When squeezing a bucket during vacuum, it's not necessary to retain
any tuples already marked as dead, so ignore them when deciding which
tuples must be moved in order to empty a bucket page.  Similarly, when
splitting a bucket, relocating dead tuples to the new bucket is a
waste of effort; instead, just ignore them.

Sharma.
