Besides heap_form_tuple and heap_formtuple, we have
heap_form_minimal_tuple
head_addheader

(it's also assigned to in heap_xlog_insert and heap_xlog_update, but I'm
not sure they need anything changed)

The good news is that it's easy to convert each caller (of which there
are 57 currently BTW) to the new form; and we could just have
heap_formtuple be a wrapper over heap_form_tuple, to reduce breakage.
Maybe add a #warning about deprecation in there for a release or two.
