tableam: Perform CheckXidAlive check once per scan

Previously, the CheckXidAlive check was performed within the table_scan*next*
functions. This caused the check to be executed for every fetched tuple, an
unnecessary overhead.

To fix, move the check to table_beginscan* so it is performed once per scan
rather than once per row.

Note: table_tuple_fetch_row_version() does not use a scan descriptor;
therefore, the CheckXidAlive check is retained in that function. The overhead
is unlikely to be relevant for the existing callers.
