This fixes #17183.
When consulting the visimap during an UPDATE for the purposes of uniqueness checks, we used to refer to the visimap from the delete half of the update.
This is the wrong structure to look at as this structure is not meant to be consulted while deletes are in flight (we haven't reached end-of-delete where visibility info from the visimapDelete structure flows into the catalog).
Instead, we should be consulting the visimapDelete structure attached to the deleteDesc. This structure can handle visimap queries for tuples that have visimap changes that haven't yet been persisted to the catalog table.
The effect of not using this structure meant running into issues such as: "attempted to update invisible tuple" when we would attempt to persist a dirty visimap entry in AppendOnlyVisimap_IsVisible() with a call to AppendOnlyVisimap_Store(). The dirty entry is one which was introduced by the delete half of the update. Our existing test did not trip this issue because the update did not need a swap-out of the current entry. With enough data, however, the issue reproduces, as evidenced in #17183.
