Just to avoid any confusion with the patch I sent out this week, we are
setting HEAP_UPDATE_ROOT on all tuples which are HOT-updated.

We set HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE for all tuples which does not have index
reference. So may be combination of (HEAP_UPDATE_ROOT & ~HEAP_ONLY_TUPLE)
can be used to identify index referred tuple in a HOT-update chain.

Thanks,
Pavan
