Rearrange the implementation of index-only scans.
This commit changes index-only scans so that data is read directly from the index tuple without first generating a faux heap tuple. The only immediate benefit is that indexes on system columns (such as OID) can be used in index-only scans, but this is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to support index-only scans on expression indexes. The executor is now ready for that, though the planner still needs substantial work to recognize the possibility. To do this, Vars in index-only plan nodes have to refer to index columns not heap columns. I introduced a new special varno, INDEX_VAR, to mark such Vars to avoid confusion. (In passing, this commit renames the two existing special varnos to OUTER_VAR and INNER_VAR.) This allows ruleutils.c to handle them with logic similar to what we use for subplan reference Vars. Since index-only scans are now fundamentally different from regular indexscans so far as their expression subtrees are concerned, I also chose to change them to have their own plan node type (and hence, their own executor source file).
