Improve sift up/down code in binaryheap.c and logtape.c.

Borrow the logic that's long been used in tuplesort.c: instead
of physically swapping the data in two heap entries, keep the
value that's being sifted up or down in a local variable, and
just move the other values as necessary. This makes the code
shorter as well as faster. It's not clear that any current
callers are really time-critical enough to notice, but we
might as well code heap maintenance the same way everywhere.
