Add options to enable and disable checksums in pg_checksums
An offline cluster can now work with more modes in pg_checksums: - --enable enables checksums in a cluster, updating all blocks with a correct checksum, and updating the control file at the end. - --disable disables checksums in a cluster, updating only the control file. - --check is an extra option able to verify checksums for a cluster, and the default used if no mode is specified. When running --enable or --disable, the data folder gets fsync'd for durability, and then it is followed by a control file update and flush to keep the operation consistent should the tool be interrupted, killed or the host unplugged. If no mode is specified in the options, then --check is used for compatibility with older versions of pg_checksums (named pg_verify_checksums in v11 where it was introduced).
