Tom Lane 2a67d6440d Add commentary explaining why MaxIndexTuplesPerPage calculation is safe. 
MaxIndexTuplesPerPage ignores the fact that btree indexes sometimes
store tuples with no data payload.  But it also ignores the possibility
of "special space" on index pages, which offsets that, so that the
result isn't an underestimate.  This all seems worth documenting, though.

In passing, remove #define MinIndexTupleSize, which was added by
commit 2c03216d8 but not used in that commit nor later ones.

Comment text by me; issue noticed by Peter Geoghegan.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
