Do you mean to say that we should have a check for ItemIdIsDead() and then
if item is found to be dead, then add it to array of non_frozen items?  If
so, earlier I thought we might not need this check as we are already using
heap_tuple_needs_eventual_freeze(), but now again looking at it, it seems
wise to check for dead items separately as those won't be covered by other
check.

We can use BufferIsValid() as well, but I am trying to be consistent with
nearby code, refer collect_visibility_data().  We can change at all places
together if people prefer that way.
