I added new API in the tableam.h to get all the page visible tuples to
abstract the bitgetpage() function.

I merged tableam.h and tableamapi.h into tableam.h and changed all the
functions as inline. This change may have added some additional headers,
will check them if I can remove their need.

Attached are the updated patches on top your github tree.

Currently I am working on the following.
- I observed that there is a crash when running isolation tests.
- COPY's multi_insert path should probably deal with a bunch of slots,
  rather than forming HeapTuples
