Avoid BufferGetPage() calls in heap_update()

BufferGetPage() isn't cheap and heap_update() calls it multiple times
when it could just save the page from a single call. Do that.
While we are at it, make separate variables for old and new page in
heap_xlog_update(). It's confusing to reuse "page" for both pages.
