Tweak writetup_heap/readtup_heap to avoid storing the tuple identity

and transaction visibility fields of tuples being sorted.  These are
always uninteresting in a tuple being sorted (if the fields were actually
selected, they'd have been pulled out into user columns beforehand).
This saves about 24 bytes per row being sorted, which is a useful savings
for any but the widest of sort rows.  Per recent discussion.

* We don't bother to write the HeapTupleData part of the tuple.

* incoming tuples, depending on the plan that's feeding the sort). We
* only need to store t_natts, t_infomask, the nulls bitmap if any, and

* You might think that we could omit storing t_natts, but you'd be wrong:
* the incoming tuple might be a physical disk tuple with fewer columns
