Remove pg_am.amindexnulls.
The only use we have had for amindexnulls is in determining whether an index is safe to cluster on; but since the addition of the amclusterable flag, that usage is pretty redundant. In passing, clean up assorted sloppiness from the last patch that touched pg_am.h: Natts_pg_am was wrong, and ambuildempty was not documented.
