Reinstate HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY|HEAP_KEYS_UPDATED as allowed

Commit 866e24d47d 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.

This bit lives in t_infomask2. If set, indicates that the operation(s) done
by the XMAX compromise the tuple key, such as a SELECT FOR UPDATE, an UPDATE

We currently never set the HEAP_XMAX_COMMITTED when the HEAP_XMAX_IS_MULTI bit
