Subject: [PATCH 2/2] amcheck: Generalize one of the recently-added update
 chain checks.

Commit bbc1376b39627c6bddd8a0dc0a7dda24c91a97a0 checked that if
a redirected line pointer pointed to a tuple, the tuple should be
marked both HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE and HEAP_UPDATED. But Andres Freund
pointed out that *any* tuple that is marked HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE should
be marked HEAP_UPDATED, not just one that is the target of a
redirected line pointer. Do that instead.

To see why this is better, consider a redirect line pointer A
which points to a heap-only tuple B which points (via CTID)
to another heap-only tuple C. With the old code, we'd complain
if B was not marked HEAP_UPDATED, but with this change, we'll
complain if either B or C is not marked HEAP_UPDATED.

(Note that, with or without this commit, if either B or C were
not marked HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE, we would also complain about that.)
