amcheck: Tighten up validation of redirect line pointers. Commit bbc1376b39627c6bddd8a0dc0a7dda24c91a97a0 added a new lp_valid[] array which records whether or not a line pointer was thought to be valid, but entries could sometimes get set to true in cases where that wasn't actually safe. Fix that. Suppose A is a redirect line pointer and B is the other line pointer to which it points. The old code could mishandle this situation in a couple of different ways. First, if B was unused, we'd complain about corruption but still set lp_valid[A] = true, causing later code to try to access the B as if it were pointing to a tuple. Second, if B was dead, we wouldn't complain about corruption at all, which is an oversight, and would also set lp_valid[A] = true, which would again confuse later code. Fix all that. In the case where B is a redirect, the old code was correct, but refactor things a bit anyway so that all of these cases are handled more symmetrically. Also add an Assert() and some comments.
