Currently, in read committed transaction isolation mode (default), we have the following sequence of actions when tuple_update()/tuple_delete() finds the tuple updated by the concurrent transaction. 1. Attempt to update/delete tuple with tuple_update()/tuple_delete(), which returns TM_Updated. 2. Lock tuple with tuple_lock(). 3. Re-evaluate plan qual (recheck if we still need to update/delete and calculate the new tuple for update). 4. Second attempt to update/delete tuple with tuple_update()/tuple_delete(). This attempt should be successful, since the tuple was previously locked. This commit eliminates step 2 by taking the lock during the first tuple_update()/tuple_delete() call. The heap table access method saves some effort by checking the updated tuple once instead of twice. Future undo-based table access methods, which will start from the latest row version, can immediately place a lock there. Also, this commit makes tuple_update()/tuple_delete() optionally save the old tuple into the dedicated slot. That saves efforts on re-fetching tuples in certain cases. The code in nodeModifyTable.c is simplified by removing the nested switch/case.
