Hmm.  Indeed.  As a HEAD change, keeping only a smgrtruncate() is
tempting as it creates a parallel with md.c.  I am not completely sure
how to make all that leaner with the smgrnblocks() calls that save the
old number of blocks for each fork.  But perhaps Thomas has a fancy
idea if it comes down to that, and it could always be done later.
