Heikki Linnakangas 5f853c6556 Use fork names instead of numbers in the file names for additional
relation forks. While the file names are not visible to users, for those
that do peek into the data directory, it's nice to have more descriptive
names. Per Greg Stark's suggestion.

Heikki Linnakangas 15c121b3ed Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, the
free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).

This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.

Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.
