Update buffile.h/.c comments for removal of non-temp option.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Update buffile.h/.c comments for removal of non-temp option. Commit 11e264517 removed BufFile's isTemp flag, thereby eliminating the possibility of resurrecting BufFileCreate(). But it left that function in place, as well as a bunch of comments describing how things worked for the non-temp-file case. At best, that's now a source of confusion. So remove the long-since-commented-out function and change relevant comments. I (tgl) wanted to rename BufFileCreateTemp() to BufFileCreate(), but that seems not to be the consensus position, so leave it as-is. In passing, fix commit f0828b2fc's failure to update BufFileSeek's comment to match the change of its argument type from long to off_t. (I think that might actually have been intentional at the time, but now that 64-bit off_t is nearly universal, it looks anachronistic.)
