Convert heap_vac_scan_next_block() boolean parameters to flags

The read stream API only allows one piece of extra per block state to be
passed back to the API user (per_buffer_data). lazy_scan_heap() needs
two pieces of per-buffer data: whether or not the block was all-visible
in the visibility map and whether or not it was eagerly scanned.

Convert these two pieces of information to flags so that they can be
populated by heap_vac_scan_next_block() and returned to
lazy_scan_heap(). A future commit will turn heap_vac_scan_next_block()
into the read stream callback for heap phase I vacuuming.
