Oops, I forgot this file is for testing heaps only. That said, we
could possibly put most of the FSM tests such as

SELECT * FROM fsm_page_contents(get_raw_page('test_rel_forks', 'fsm', 0));

into brin.sql since we know a non-empty BRIN index will have a FSM.
And in page.sql we could just have a test that the table has no FSM.
