timestamptz_trunc() should only recalculate the timezone when truncating

HOUR or less. This avoids surprises for inputs near a DST transition

recalculate at all is so that outputs that are supposed to represent

mktime() and localtime(). The behavior for invalid or ambiguous times
at a DST transition is fixed to be really and truly "assume standard
time", fixing a bug that has come and gone repeatedly but was back
again in 7.4. (There is some ongoing discussion about whether we should
raise an error instead, but for the moment I'll make it do what it was

I found a corner case in which it is possible for RI_FKey_check's call
of HeapTupleSatisfiesItself() to trigger a hint-bit update on the tuple:
if the row was updated or deleted by a subtransaction of my own transaction
that was later rolled back. This cannot occur in pre-8.0 of course, so
the hint-bit patch applied a couple weeks ago is OK for existing releases.
But for 8.0 it seems we had better fix things so that RI_FKey_check can
pass the correct buffer number to HeapTupleSatisfiesItself. Accordingly,
add fields to the TriggerData struct to carry the buffer ID(s) for the
old and new tuple(s). There are other possible solutions but this one
seems cleanest; it will allow other AFTER-trigger functions to safely
do tqual.c calls if they want to. Put new fields at end of struct so
that there is no API breakage.
