Tweak indexscan and seqscan code to arrange that steps from one page to
the next are handled by ReleaseAndReadBuffer rather than separate ReleaseBuffer and ReadBuffer calls. This cuts the number of acquisitions of the BufMgrLock by a factor of 2 (possibly more, if an indexscan happens to pull successive rows from the same heap page). Unfortunately this doesn't seem enough to get us out of the recently discussed context-switch storm problem, but it's surely worth doing anyway.
