nbtree: Allocate new pages in separate function.

Split nbtree's _bt_getbuf function is two: code that read locks or write
locks existing pages remains in _bt_getbuf, while code that deals with
allocating new pages is moved to a new, dedicated function called
_bt_allocbuf.  This simplifies most _bt_getbuf callers, since it is no
longer necessary for them to pass a heaprel argument.  Many of the
changes to nbtree from commit 61b313e4 can be reverted.  This minimizes
the divergence between HEAD/PostgreSQL 16 and earlier release branches.

_bt_allocbuf replaces the previous nbtree idiom of passing P_NEW to
_bt_getbuf.  There are only 3 affected call sites, all of which continue
to pass a heaprel for recovery conflict purposes.  Note that nbtree's
use of P_NEW was superficial; nbtree never actually relied on the P_NEW
code paths in bufmgr.c, so this change is strictly mechanical.

GiST already took the same approach; it has a dedicated function for
allocating new pages called gistNewBuffer().  That factor allowed commit
61b313e4 to make much more targeted changes to GiST.
