The previous set should have been named v30, not v3.  My apologies for any confusion.

The attached patches, v31, are mostly the same, but with "getopt_long.h" included from pg_amcheck.c per Thomas's review, and a .gitignore file added in contrib/pg_amcheck/

Commits

  1. Add pg_amcheck, a CLI for contrib/amcheck.

  2. Refactor and generalize the ParallelSlot machinery.

  3. Generalize parallel slot result handling.

  4. Move some code from src/bin/scripts to src/fe_utils to permit reuse.

  5. Factor pattern-construction logic out of processSQLNamePattern.

  6. Doc: clean up verify_heapam() documentation.

  7. Fix more portability issues in new amcheck code.

  8. Fix portability issues in new amcheck test.

  9. Try to avoid a compiler warning about using fxid uninitialized.

  10. Extend amcheck to check heap pages.

  11. Adjust walsender usage of xlogreader, simplify APIs

  12. Improve checking of child pages in contrib/amcheck.

  13. Sanitize line pointers within contrib/amcheck.

  14. Fix possible sorting error when aborting use of abbreviated keys.
