Use streaming read I/O in btree vacuuming
Btree vacuum processes all index pages in physical order. Now it uses
the read stream API to get the next buffer instead of explicitly
invoking ReadBuffer().
It is possible for concurrent insertions to cause page splits during
index vacuuming. This can lead to index entries that have yet to be
vacuumed being moved to pages that have already been vacuumed. Btree
vacuum code handles this by backtracking to reprocess those pages. So,
while sequentially encountered pages are now read through the
read stream API, backtracked pages are still read with explicit
ReadBuffer() calls.
