I worked on a slight improvement on the
0040-WIP-Move-xid-horizon-computation-for-page-level patch . Instead
of pre-fetching all the required buffers beforehand, the attached WIP
patch pre-fetches the buffers keeping a constant distance ahead of the
buffer reads. It's a WIP patch because right now it just uses a
hard-coded 5 buffers ahead. Haven't used effective_io_concurrency like
how it is done in nodeBitmapHeapscan.c. Will do that next. But before
that, any comments on the way I did the improvements would be nice.

Note that for now, the patch is based on the pluggable-storage latest
commit; it does not replace the 0040 patch in the patch series.
