tableam: Provide helper functions for relation sizing.

Most block-based table AMs will need the exact same implementation of
the relation_size callback as the heap, and if they use a standard
page layout, they will likely need an implementation of the
relation_estimate_size callback that is very similar to that of the
heap.  Rearrange to facilitate code reuse.

Patch by me, reviewed by Michael Paquier, Daniel Gustafsson, and
Álvaro Herrera.
