Generalize relation analyze in table AM interface
Currently, there is just one algorithm for sampling tuples from a table written
in acquire_sample_rows(). Custom table AM can just redefine the way to get the
next block/tuple by implementing scan_analyze_next_block() and
scan_analyze_next_tuple() API functions.
This approach doesn't seem general enough. For instance, it's unclear how to
sample this way index-organized tables. This commit allows table AM to
encapsulate the whole sampling algorithm (currently implemented in
acquire_sample_rows()) into the relation_analyze() API function.
