* Caller's insertion scankey is used to compare the tuples; the scankey's
* argument values are not considered here.
*
* Sometimes this routine will return a new pivot tuple that takes up more
* space than firstright, because a new heap TID attribute had to be added to
* distinguish lastleft from firstright. This should only happen when the
* caller is in the process of splitting a leaf page that has many logical
* duplicates, where it's unavoidable.
*
* Note that returned tuple's t_tid offset will hold the number of attributes
* present, so the original item pointer offset is not represented. Caller
* should only change truncated tuple's downlink. Note also that truncated
* key attributes are treated as containing "minus infinity" values by
* _bt_compare().
*
* In the worst case (when a heap TID is appended) the size of the returned
* tuple is the size of the first right tuple plus an additional MAXALIGN()'d
* item pointer. This guarantee is important, since callers need to stay
* under the 1/3 of a page restriction on tuple size. If this routine is ever
* taught to truncate within an attribute/datum, it will need to avoid
* returning an enlarged tuple to caller when truncation + TOAST compression
* ends up enlarging the final datum.
