Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] Remove unneeded vacuum_delay_point from
 heap_vac_scan_get_next_block

heap_vac_scan_get_next_block() does relatively little work, so there is
no need to call vacuum_delay_point(). A future commit will call
heap_vac_scan_get_next_block() from a callback, and we would like to
avoid calling vacuum_delay_point() in that callback.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] Confine vacuum skip logic to lazy_scan_skip

In preparation for vacuum to use the streaming read interface (and
eventually AIO), refactor vacuum's logic for skipping blocks such that
it is entirely confined to lazy_scan_skip(). This turns lazy_scan_skip()
and the skip state in LVRelState it uses into an iterator which yields
blocks to lazy_scan_heap(). Such a structure is conducive to an async
interface. While we are at it, rename lazy_scan_skip() to
heap_vac_scan_get_next_block(), which now more accurately describes it.

By always calling heap_vac_scan_get_next_block() -- instead of only when
we have reached the next unskippable block, we no longer need the
skipping_current_range variable. lazy_scan_heap() no longer needs to
manage the skipped range -- checking if we reached the end in order to
then call heap_vac_scan_get_next_block(). And
heap_vac_scan_get_next_block() can derive the visibility status of a
block from whether or not we are in a skippable range -- that is,
whether or not the next_block is equal to the next unskippable block.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] Add lazy_scan_skip unskippable state to LVRelState

Future commits will remove all skipping logic from lazy_scan_heap() and
confine it to lazy_scan_skip(). To make those commits more clear, first
introduce add a struct to LVRelState containing variables needed to skip
ranges less than SKIP_PAGES_THRESHOLD.

lazy_scan_prune() and lazy_scan_new_or_empty() can now access the
buffer containing the relevant block of the visibility map through the
LVRelState.skip, so it no longer needs to be a separate function
parameter.

While we are at it, add additional information to the lazy_scan_skip()
comment, including descriptions of the role and expectations for its
function parameters.
