Peter Geoghegan e5adcb789d Refactor nbtree insertion scankeys.
Use dedicated struct to represent nbtree insertion scan keys.  Having a
dedicated struct makes the difference between search type scankeys and
insertion scankeys a lot clearer, and simplifies the signature of
several related functions.  This is based on a suggestion by Andrey
Lepikhov.

Streamline how unique index insertions cache binary search progress.
Cache the state of in-progress binary searches within _bt_check_unique()
for later instead of having callers avoid repeating the binary search in
an ad-hoc manner.  This makes it easy to add a new optimization:
_bt_check_unique() now falls out of its loop immediately in the common
case where it's already clear that there couldn't possibly be a
duplicate.

The new _bt_check_unique() scheme makes it a lot easier to manage cached
binary search effort afterwards, from within _bt_findinsertloc().  This
is needed for the upcoming patch to make nbtree tuples unique by
treating heap TID as a final tiebreaker column.  Unique key binary
searches need to restore lower and upper bounds.  They cannot simply
continue to use the >= lower bound as the offset to insert at, because
the heap TID tiebreaker column must be used in comparisons for the
restored binary search (unlike the original _bt_check_unique() binary
search, where scankey's heap TID column must be omitted).
