Code review for pg_verify_checksums.c.

Use postgres_fe.h, since this is frontend code. Pretend that we've heard
of project style guidelines for, eg, #include order. Use BlockNumber not
int arithmetic for block numbers, to avoid misbehavior with relations
exceeding 2^31 blocks. Avoid an unnecessary strict-aliasing warning
(per report from Michael Banck). Const-ify assorted stuff. Avoid
scribbling on the output of readdir() -- perhaps that's safe in practice,
but POSIX forbids it, and this code has so far earned exactly zero
credibility portability-wise. Editorialize on an ambiguously-worded
message.

I did not touch the problem of the "buf" local variable being possibly
insufficiently aligned; that's not specific to this code, and seems like
it should be fixed as part of a different, larger patch.
