I'm afraid the answer is "you can't tell". The infomask bits in tuple
headers aren't exposed via SQL. If you're really desperate,
contrib/pageinspect would help, but I don't propose mentioning that here.
In general, I'm not really sure why users would care very much at
a tuple-by-tuple level. Aggregate statistics would be interesting,
which raises the question why contrib/pgstattuple doesn't provide
frozen-tuples counts.
