I found an issue with this [d55241af7, "Use whitelist to choose files
scanned with pg_verify_checksums"] commit, namely, it makes
pg_verify_checksums no longer scan non-default tablespaces. So if you
have all of your data in tablespaces, it will more-or-less immediately
return with success.

I've extended the test suite to induce corruption in a table located in
a non-default tablespace, see the attached patch.

If fails like this, i.e. does not detect the corruption:

t/002_actions.pl .. 14/42
# Failed test 'fails with corrupted data in non-default tablespace status (got 0 vs expected 1)'
# at t/002_actions.pl line 87.

# Failed test 'fails with corrupted data in non-default tablespace stdout /(?^:Bad checksums:.*1)/'
# at t/002_actions.pl line 87.
# 'Checksum scan completed
# Data checksum version: 1
# Files scanned: 1102
# Blocks scanned: 2861
# Bad checksums: 0
# '
# doesn't match '(?^:Bad checksums:.*1)'

# Failed test 'fails with corrupted data in non-default tablespace stderr /(?^:checksum verification failed)/'
# at t/002_actions.pl line 87.
# ''
# doesn't match '(?^:checksum verification failed)'
# Looks like you failed 3 tests of 42.
t/002_actions.pl .. Dubious, test returned 3 (wstat 768, 0x300)
Failed 3/42 subtests

The problem is that "PG_12_201811201" is not considered a valid relation
file by isRelFileName(), so it skips it and the rest of the tablespace.

I had a quick look at fixing this but did not manage to immediately come
up with a solution, so posting here for now.

Michael
