Ideally, PageVerificationInfoOK should be available to external
utilities, so that someone might script a background job to verify
pages. Or, perhaps we should just include a new utility,
pg_verify_checksums?

Either way, where is a good place to put the function so that it's
shared between the server and the utility? In src/port somewhere?
