Minor refactoring in heap_page_prune

Minor refactoring in heap_page_prune

Pass 'page', 'blockno' and 'maxoff' to heap_prune_chain() as
arguments, so that it doesn't need to fetch them from the buffer. This
saves a few cycles per chain.

Remove the "if (off_loc != NULL)" checks, and require the caller to
pass a non-NULL 'off_loc'. Pass a pointer to a dummy local variable
when it's not needed. Those checks are cheap, but it's still better to
avoid them in the per-chain loops when we can do so easily.

The CPU time saving from these changes are hardly measurable, but
fewer instructions is good anyway, so why not. I spotted the potential
for these while reviewing Melanie Plageman's patch set to combine
prune and freeze records.
