Hm. It's a bit annoying to revert it, you're right. I think on its own the
revert looks reasonable from what I've seen so far, will continue looking for
a bit.

I think we'll need to do some cleanup of 041b96802e separately afterwards -
possibly in 17, possibly in 18. Particularly post-27bc1772fc8
acquire_sample_rows() was tied hard to heapam, so it made sense for 041b96802e
to create the stream in acquire_sample_rows() and have
block_sampling_read_stream_next() be in analyze.c. But eventually that should
be in access/heap/. Compared to 16, the state post the revert does tie
analyze.c a bit closer to the internals of the AM than before, but I'm not
sure the increase matters.

Greetings,

Andres Freund
