Fix nasty bug in nodeIndexscan.c's detection of duplicate tuples during

a multiple (OR'ed) indexscan.  It was checking for duplicate
tuple->t_data->t_ctid, when what it should be checking is tuple->t_self.
The trouble situation occurs when a live tuple has t_ctid not pointing to
itself, which can happen if an attempted UPDATE was rolled back.  After a
VACUUM, an unrelated tuple could be installed where the failed update tuple
was, leading to one live tuple's t_ctid pointing to an unrelated tuple.
If one of these tuples is fetched by an earlier OR'ed indexscan and the other
by a later indexscan, nodeIndexscan.c would incorrectly ignore the second
tuple.  The bug exists in all 7.4.* and 8.0.* versions, but not in earlier
or later branches because this code was only used in those releases.  Per
trouble report from Rafael Martinez Guerrero.
