Log Message:
-----------
Resurrect heap_deformtuple(), this time implemented as a singly nested
loop over the fields instead of a loop around heap_getattr.  This is
considerably faster (O(N) instead of O(N^2)) when there are nulls or
varlena fields, since those prevent use of attcacheoff.  Replace loops
over heap_getattr with heap_deformtuple in situations where all or most
of the fields have to be fetched, such as printtup and tuptoaster.
Profiling done more than a year ago shows that this should be a nice
win for situations involving many-column tables.
