Remove unused tuple expansion and copying functions

minimal_expand_tuple() has been unused since 4da597edf1b and
heap_expand_tuple() since 20d3fe9009d, which in turn left the static
expand_tuple() unreachable. heap_copytuple_with_tuple() has had no
callers since 141fd1b66ce. Remove them.

Two regression test comments naming expand_tuple() are updated to
refer to the code that handles missing attributes nowadays.
