Robert Haas 9cc27566c1 Fix pgstattuple's handling of unused hash pages.
Hash indexes can contain both pages which are all-zeroes (i.e.
PageIsNew()) and pages which have been initialized but currently
aren't used.  The latter category can happen either when a page
has been reserved but not yet used or when it is used for a time
and then freed.  pgstattuple was only prepared to deal with the
pages that are actually-zeroes, which it called zero_pages.
Rename the column to unused_pages (extension version 1.5 is
as-yet-unreleased) and make it count both kinds of unused pages.

Along the way, slightly tidy up the way we test for pages of
various types.
