Consolidate ItemPointer to Datum conversion functions

Instead of defining the same set of macros several times, define it once 
in an appropriate header file.  In passing, convert to inline functions.

Looks good to me. Did you consider moving PG_GETARG_ITEMPOINTER and 
PG_RETURN_ITEMPOINTER, too? They're only used in tid.c, but for most 
datatypes, we define the PG_GETARG and PG_RETURN macros in the same 
header file as the the Datum conversion functions.

Yeah that makes sense.  Here is an updated patch for that.
