Remove comment about historic heap vacuuming issue.
Remove comment block about how heap page vacuuming used to set tuples with storage to LP_UNUSED in a rare edge case that can no longer happen following commit 8523492d4e. The comments seem unnecessary now, since it's now generally clear that heap vacuuming only applies to LP_DEAD items from VACUUM's first heap pass following more recent work from commits 12b5ade902 and 4f8d9d1217.
