Execute both freezing and pruning of tuples in the same heap_page_prune() function, now called heap_page_prune_and_freeze(), and emit a single WAL record containing all changes. That reduces the overall amount of WAL generated. This moves the freezing logic from vacuumlazy.c to the heap_page_prune_and_freeze() function. The main difference in the coding is that in vacuumlazy.c, we looked at the tuples after the pruning had already happened, but in heap_page_prune_and_freeze() we operate on the tuples before pruning. The heap_prepare_freeze_tuple() function is now invoked after we have determined that a tuple is not going to be pruned away. VACUUM no longer needs to loop through the items on the page after pruning. heap_page_prune_and_freeze() does all the work. It now returns the list of dead offsets, including existing LP_DEAD items, to the caller. Similarly it's now responsible for tracking 'all_visible', 'all_frozen', and 'hastup' on the caller's behalf.
