Add a new bt_metap() column to display the metapage's allequalimage
field. Also add three new columns to contrib/pageinspect's
bt_page_items() function:
* Add a boolean column ("dead") that displays the LP_DEAD bit value for
each non-pivot tuple.
* Add a TID column ("htid") that displays a single heap TID value for
each tuple. This is the TID that is returned by BTreeTupleGetHeapTID(),
so comparable values are shown for pivot tuples, plain non-pivot tuples,
and posting list tuples.
* Add a TID array column ("tids") that displays TIDs from each tuple's
posting list, if any. This works just like the "tids" column from
pageinspect's gin_leafpage_items() function.
No version bump for the pageinspect extension, since there hasn't been a
stable Postgres release since the last version bump (the last bump was
part of commit 58b4cb30).

After more discussion, the new function added by ddbd5d8 could have been
designed in a better way. Based on an idea from Álvaro, instead of
returning one column which includes both the raw and combined flags, use
two columns, with one for the raw flags and one for the combined flags.
This also takes care of some issues with HEAP_LOCKED_UPGRADED and
HEAP_XMAX_IS_LOCKED_ONLY which are not really combined flags as they
depend on conditions defined by other raw bits, as mentioned by Amit.
While on it, fix an extra issue with combined flags. A combined flag
was returned if at least one of its bits was set, but all its bits need
to be set to include it in the result.

Flags of t_infomask and t_infomask2 for each tuple are already included
in the information returned by heap_page_items as integers, and we
lacked a way to make that information human-readable.
Per discussion, the function includes an option which controls if
combined flags should be decomposed or not. The default is false, to
not decompose combined flags.
The module is bumped to version 1.8.
