If a seqscan encounters many consecutive pages containing only dead tuples, it can remain in the loop in heapgettup for a long time, and there was no CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS anywhere in that loop. This meant there were real-world situations where a query would be effectively uncancelable for long stretches. Add a check placed to occur once per page, which should be enough to provide reasonable response time without adding any measurable overhead. Report and patch by Merlin Moncure (though I tweaked it a bit). Back-patch to all supported branches.
