Truncate line pointer array during heap pruning.

Browse Source 
Reclaim space from the line pointer array when heap pruning leaves
behind a contiguous group of LP_UNUSED items at the end of the array.
This happens during subsequent page defragmentation.  Certain kinds of
heap line pointer bloat are ameliorated by this new optimization.

Follow-up work to commit 3c3b8a4b26, which taught VACUUM to truncate the
line pointer array in about the same way during VACUUM's second pass
over the heap.  We now apply line pointer array truncation during both
the first and the second pass over the heap made by VACUUM.  We can also
perform line pointer array truncation during opportunistic pruning.

Matthias van de Meent, with small tweaks by me.
