Here is an updated patch with some changes.

* Rename convert_ovflblkno_to_bitno to _hash_ovflblkno_to_bitno

Such that there is only 1 method, which is exposed

* Readded pageinspect--1.6.sql

In order to have the latest pageinspect interface in 1 file, as we need
something to install from.

Removing --1.5.sql otherwise would give

test=# CREATE EXTENSION "pageinspect";
ERROR: extension "pageinspect" has no installation script nor update
path for version "1.6"

* Minor documentation changes

Look it over, and maybe there is a simple test case we can add for this.

Best regards,
Jesper
