Allow to use HeapTupleData embedded in [Buffer]HeapTupleTableSlot.
That avoids having to care about the lifetime of the
HeapTupleHeaderData passed to ExecStore[Buffer]HeapTuple(). That
doesn't make a huge difference for a plain HeapTupleTableSlot, but for
BufferHeapTupleTableSlot it can be a significant advantage, avoiding
the need to materialize slots where it's inconvenient to provide a
HeapTupleData with appropriate lifetime to point to the on-disk tuple.
It's quite possible that we'll want to add support functions for
constructing HeapTuples using that embedded HeapTupleData, but for now
callers do so themselves.
