CheckBuffer() is designed to be a concurrent-safe function able to run
sanity checks on a relation page without loading it into the shared
buffers.  The operation is done using a lock on the partition involved
in the shared buffer mapping hashtable and an I/O lock for the buffer
itself, preventing the risk of false positives due to any concurrent
activity.

The primary use of this function is the detection of on-disk corruptions
for relation pages.  If a page is found in shared buffers, the on-disk
page is checked if not dirty (a follow-up checkpoint would flush a valid
version of the page if dirty anyway), as it could be possible that a
page was present for a long time in shared buffers with its on-disk
version corrupted.  Such a scenario could lead to a corrupted cluster if
a host is plugged off for example.  If the page is not found in shared
buffers, its on-disk state is checked.  PageIsVerifiedExtended() is used
to apply the same sanity checks as when a page gets loaded into shared
buffers.

This function will be used by an upcoming patch able to check the state
of on-disk relation pages using a SQL function.
