Fix incorrect block accounting in TID Range Scans

heapgettup_advance_block() (or heapgettup() and heapgettup_pagemode() in
versions before v16) would incorrectly decrement rs_numblocks when
advancing to the next block. Ordinarily this was fine, but if the TID
Range scan plan was used by a scrollable cursor and the cursor was fetched
backwards enough to result in another block being required, then
rs_numblocks may have reached 0 prematurely resulting in the scan ending
prematurely.
