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 2c03216d but not used in that commit nor later ones. Comment text by me; issue noticed by Peter Geoghegan.
