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.
