Reinstate HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY|HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED as allowed
Commit 866e24d47db1 added an assert that HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY and
HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED cannot appear together, on the faulty assumption that
the latter necessarily referred to an update and not a tuple lock; but
that's wrong, because SELECT FOR UPDATE can use precisely that
combination, as evidenced by the amcheck test case added here.
Remove the Assert(), and also patch amcheck's verify_heapam.c to not
complain if the combination is found. Also, out of overabundance of
caution, update (across all branches) README.tuplock to be more explicit
about this.
