heap_form_tuple() construct a new tuple from the given values[] and
isnull[] arrays and incase of UPDATE operation, it gets called in
below call stack
ExecModifyTable()->ExecUpdate()->ExecMaterializeSlot()->ExecCopySlotTuple()->heap_form_tuple()

Values to construct new tuple are formed during projection in
ExecProject() which is called as below call stack in UPDATE operation:
ExecModifyTable()->ExecProcNode()->ExecSeqScan()->ExecScan()->ExecProject()
