Tom Lane 0f359c7de9 Fix multiple bugs in contrib/pgstattuple's pgstatindex() function.
Dead or half-dead index leaf pages were incorrectly reported as live, as a
consequence of a code rearrangement I made (during a moment of severe brain
fade, evidently) in commit d287818eb5.

The index metapage was not counted in index_size, causing that result to
not agree with the actual index size on-disk.

Index root pages were not counted in internal_pages, which is inconsistent
compared to the case of a root that's also a leaf (one-page index), where
the root would be counted in leaf_pages.  Aside from that inconsistency,
this could lead to additional transient discrepancies between the reported
page counts and index_size, since it's possible for pgstatindex's scan to
see zero or multiple pages marked as BTP_ROOT, if the root moves due to
a split during the scan.  With these fixes, index_size will always be
exactly one page more than the sum of the displayed page counts.

Also, the index_size result was incorrectly documented as being measured in
pages; it's always been measured in bytes.  (While fixing that, I couldn't
resist doing some small additional wordsmithing on the pgstattuple docs.)

Including the metapage causes the reported index_size to not be zero for
an empty index.  To preserve the desired property that the pgstattuple
regression test results are platform-independent (ie, BLCKSZ configuration
independent), scale the index_size result in the regression tests.

The documentation issue was reported by Otsuka Kenji, and the inconsistent
root page counting by Peter Geoghegan; the other problems noted by me.
Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been broken for
a long time.
