Revert "Move page initialization from RelationAddExtraBlocks() to use."

This reverts commit fc02e672 and
e6799d5a.

Parts of the buildfarm error out with
ERROR: page %u of relation "%s" should be empty but is not
errors, and so far I/we do not know why. fc02e672 didn't fix the
issue.  As I cannot reproduce the issue locally, it seems best to get
the buildfarm green again, and reproduce the issue without time
pressure.

* of cross-checks that new pages are actually new. If we add this
* page to the FSM, this page could be reused, and such
* crosschecks could fail. To protect against that, release the
* buffer lock, grab the relation extension lock momentarily, and

* FSM by then, it must be left over from a from a crashed
* backend, and we can record the free space.
