Add missing and dangling downlink checks to amcheck
When bt_index_parent_check() is called with the heapallindexed option,
allocate a second Bloom filter to fingerprint block numbers that appear
in the downlinks of internal pages. Use Bloom filter probes when
walking the B-Tree to detect missing downlinks. This can detect subtle
problems with page deletion/VACUUM, such as corruption caused by the bug
just fixed in commit 6db4b499.
The downlink Bloom filter is bound in size by work_mem. Its optimal
size is typically far smaller than that of the regular heapallindexed
Bloom filter, especially when the index has high fan-out.
