Improve read_stream.c's fast path.

The "fast path" for well cached scans that don't do any I/O was
accidentally coded in a way that could only be triggered by pg_prewarm's
usage pattern, which starts out with a higher distance because of the
flags it passes in.  We want it to work for streaming sequential scans
too, once that patch is committed.  Adjust.
