hash: Implement page-at-a-time scan.
Commit 09cb5c0e added a similar optimization to btree back in 2006, but nobody bothered to implement the same thing for hash indexes, probably because they weren't WAL-logged and had lots of other performance problems as well. As with the corresponding btree case, this eliminates the problem of potentially needing to refind our position within the page, and cuts down on pin/unpin traffic as well.
