This reverts portions of commit 6dcfac9696, which is wrong in trying
to use a *GetDatum() that matches with the C types of the values read.
*GetDatum() should match with the output argument types of the SQL
functions.
The portions of 6dcfac9696 that are right regarding this rule are:
- gistget.c, where the GiST support functions use DatumGetUInt16() to
retrieve the strategy number.
- The BRIN code for strategynum, used in syscache lookups.
The adjustments done in this commit are for pageinspect, pg_buffercache
and pg_lock_status().
While double-checking the whole state of the tree regarding non-matching
pairs of DatumGet*() and *GetDatum(), I have found much more code paths
that are incorrect, unrelated to 6dcfac9696. These may be adjusted in
the future, in a different patch (perhaps not for v19, as we are already
past feature freeze).

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
