Remove HASH_SEGMENT option
It's been unused forever. There's no urgency in removing it now, but
it was just something that caught my eye.
Aleksander Alekseev proposed this a long time ago [0], but Tom Lane
was worried about third-party extensions using it. I believe that's a
non-issue: I tried grepping through all extensions found on github and
didn't find any references to HASH_SEGMENT.
