Fix bug in Tid scan.

Commit 147e3722f7 changed Tid scan so that it calls table_beginscan()
and uses the scan option for seq scan. This change caused two issues.

(1) The change caused Tid scan to take a predicate lock on the entire
       relation in serializable transaction even when relation-level
       lock is not necessary. This could lead to an unexpected
       serialization error.

(2) The change caused Tid scan to increment the number of seq_scan
       in pg_stat_*_tables views even though it's not seq scan. This
       could confuse the users.

This commit adds the scan option for Tid scan and makes Tid scan
use it, to avoid those issues.

Back-patch to v12, where the bug was introduced.
