Re: new heapcheck contrib module

I mean an interface that's friendly to DBAs, that verifies an entire
database. No custom sql query required. Something that provides a
reasonable mix of verification options based on high level directives. All
verification methods can be combined in a granular, possibly randomized
fashion. Maybe we can make this run in parallel.

For example, maybe your heap checker code sometimes does index probes for a
subset of indexes and heap tuples. It's not hard to combine it with the
rootdescend stuff from amcheck. It should be composable.

The interface you've chosen is a good starting point. But let's not miss an
opportunity to make everything work together.
