Reset the binary heap in MergeAppend rescans.

Failing to do so can cause queries to return wrong data, error out or crash.
This requires adding a new binaryheap_reset() method to binaryheap.c,
but that probably should have been there anyway.

Per bug #8410 from Terje Elde. Diagnosis and patch by Andres Freund.
