TupleHashTable: store additional data along with tuple.

Previously, the caller needed to allocate the memory and the
TupleHashTable would store a pointer to it. That wastes space for the
palloc overhead as well as the size of the pointer itself.

Now, the TupleHashTable relies on the caller to correctly specify the
additionalsize, and allocates that amount of space. The caller can
then request a pointer into that space.
