Do we really need to keep undo for heap until index entry is not
removed? IIUC, we anyway need to revalidate the index key with heap
tuple. What I am trying the say is that if we no longer needed UNDO
for the heap page (e.g because of rollback) then we can apply the UNDO
and remove it. I agree that there will be multiple index entries will
be pointing to this tuple, but only one of them can pass the key
revalidation with the heap. isn't it?
