Don't clear btpo_cycleid during _bt_vacuum_one_page.
When "vacuuming" a single btree page by removing LP_DEAD tuples, we are not actually within a vacuum operation, but rather in an ordinary insertion process that could well be running concurrently with a vacuum. So clearing the cycleid is incorrect, and could cause the concurrent vacuum to miss removing tuples that it needs to remove. This is a longstanding bug introduced by commit e6284649b9e30372b3990107a082bc7520325676 of 2006-07-25. I believe it explains Maxim Boguk's recent report of index corruption, and probably some other previously unexplained reports. In 9.0 and up this is a one-line fix; before that we need to introduce a flag to tell _bt_delitems what to do.
