Added HnswQuery struct [skip ci]

These places called PageIndexTupleOverwrite(), with the new tuple
pointing directly to the original page. The PageIndexTupleOverwrite()
call is unnecessary in these cases, as we have already modified the
tuple on the page directly. Moreover, PageIndexTupleOverWrite() will
call memcpy with same src and dst arguments, which is undefined
behavior.

It's OK to modify the pages on disk directly, and we don't need
critical sections, because we either use the generic xlog functions
which create a temporary copy of the page, or we are building a new
index so if we crash the whole index is invisible and will be dropped
anyway.
