Fix multiple bugs in contrib/pgstattuple's pgstatindex() function.
Dead or half-dead index leaf pages were incorrectly reported as live, as a consequence of a code rearrangement I made (during a moment of severe brain fade, evidently) in commit d287818eb514d431. The index metapage was not counted in index_size, causing that result to not agree with the actual index size on-disk. Index root pages were not counted in internal_pages, which is inconsistent compared to the case of a root that's also a leaf (one-page index), where the root would be counted in leaf_pages. Aside from that inconsistency, this could lead to additional transient discrepancies between the reported page counts and index_size, since it's possible for pgstatindex's scan to see zero or multiple pages marked as BTP_ROOT, if the root moves due to a split during the scan. With these fixes, index_size will always be exactly one page more than the sum of the displayed page counts. Also, the index_size result was incorrectly documented as being measured in pages; it's always been measured in bytes. (While fixing that, I couldn't resist doing some small additional wordsmithing on the pgstattuple docs.) Including the metapage causes the reported index_size to not be zero for an empty index. To preserve the desired property that the pgstattuple regression test results are platform-independent (ie, BLCKSZ configuration independent), scale the index_size result in the regression tests. The documentation issue was reported by Otsuka Kenji, and the inconsistent root page counting by Peter Geoghegan; the other problems noted by me. Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been broken for a long time.
