Avoid unnecessary palloc overhead in _bt_first(). The temporary

scankeys arrays that it needs can never have more than INDEX_MAX_KEYS
entries, so it's reasonable to just allocate them as fixed-size local
arrays, and save the cost of palloc/pfree.  Not a huge savings, but
a cycle saved is a cycle earned ...
