Here I attached rebased patchset to the latest HEAD. Apart from rebase, I
try to fix the JIT
support with pluggable storage, but it doesn't work yet.

Thanks Alexander for conducting the pluggable table access method
discussion in unconference
session at PGCon, I was not able to attend. From one of my colleague who
attended the session
told me that, there was a major discussion around TOAST and VACUUM features
support. I would
like to share the state of those two features in the current patch set.

TOAST:
I already moved some part of the toast capabilities to the storage, still
there exists majority of the
part that needs to be handled. The decision of TOAST should be part of the
access method that
handles the data. I will work on it further to provide better API.

VACUUM:
Not much changes are done in this apart moving the Vacuum visibility
functions as part of the
storage. But idea for the Vacuum was with each access method can define how
it should perform.
