Set pd_prune_xid on insert
Now that on-access pruning can update the visibility map (VM) during
read-only queries, set the page’s pd_prune_xid hint during INSERT and on
the new page during UPDATE.
This allows heap_page_prune_and_freeze() to set the VM the first time a
page is read after being filled with tuples. This may avoid I/O
amplification by setting the page all-visible when it is still in shared
buffers and allowing later vacuums to skip scanning the page. It also
enables index-only scans of newly inserted data much sooner.
As a side benefit, this addresses a long-standing note in heap_insert()
and heap_multi_insert(): aborted inserts can now be pruned on-access
rather than lingering until the next VACUUM.
