amcheck: Tighten up validation of redirect line pointers.
Commit bbc1376b39627c6bddd8a0dc0a7dda24c91a97a0 added a new lp_valid[]
array which records whether or not a line pointer was thought to be
valid, but entries could sometimes get set to true in cases where that
wasn't actually safe. Fix that.
Suppose A is a redirect line pointer and B is the other line pointer
to which it points. The old code could mishandle this situation in a
couple of different ways. First, if B was unused, we'd complain about
corruption but still set lp_valid[A] = true, causing later code
to try to access the B as if it were pointing to a tuple. Second,
if B was dead, we wouldn't complain about corruption at all, which is
an oversight, and would also set lp_valid[A] = true, which would
again confuse later code. Fix all that.
In the case where B is a redirect, the old code was correct, but
refactor things a bit anyway so that all of these cases are handled
more symmetrically. Also add an Assert() and some comments.
