Re: Online verification of checksums

The following review has been posted through the commitfest application:
make installcheck-world: tested, passed
Implements feature: tested, passed
Spec compliant: tested, passed
Documentation: not tested

The patch applies cleanly and works as expected. Just a few minor observations:

- I would suggest refactoring PageIsZero function by getting rid of all_zeroes variable
and simply returning false when a non-zero byte is found, rather than setting all_zeros
variable to false and breaking the for loop. The function should simply return true at the
end otherwise.

- Remove the empty line:
+ * would throw an assertion failure. Consider this a
+ * checksum failure.
+ */
+
+ checksum_failures++;

- Code needs to run through pgindent.

Also, I'd suggest to make "5" a define within the current file/function, perhaps
something like "MAX_CHECKSUM_FAILURES". You could move the second
warning outside the conditional statement as it appears in both "if" and "else" blocks.
