Move heapam_handler.c index scan code to new file.

Move the heapam index fetch callbacks (index_fetch_begin,
index_fetch_reset, index_fetch_end, and index_fetch_tuple) into a new
dedicated file. Also move heap_hot_search_buffer over. This is a
purely mechanical move with no functional impact.

Upcoming work to add a slot-based table AM interface for index scans
will substantially expand this code. Keeping it in heapam_handler.c
would clutter a file whose primary role is to wire up the TableAmRoutine
callbacks. Bitmap heap scans and sequential scans would benefit from
similar separation in the future.
