pgsql: Convert heap_vac_scan_next_block() boolean parameters to flags

Convert heap_vac_scan_next_block() boolean parameters to flags

The read stream API only allows one piece of extra per block state to be
passed back to the API user (per_buffer_data). lazy_scan_heap() needs
two pieces of per-buffer data: whether or not the block was all-visible
in the visibility map and whether or not it was eagerly scanned.

Convert these two pieces of information to flags so that they can be
populated by heap_vac_scan_next_block() and returned to
lazy_scan_heap(). A future commit will turn heap_vac_scan_next_block()
into the read stream callback for heap phase I vacuuming.

This seems to have made skink upset with a Valgrind error:

Yep. Thanks. I replied to one of the other commits -- valgrind is mad
at two of them.
Thomas figured it out and should be committing a fix soon.

Yeah, I noticed that after I had replied since I first went looking at the
wrong threads, sorry for the noise.
