Allow users to opt out of returning FPI data and block data from pg_get_wal_block_info as an optimization. Testing has shown that this can make function execution over twice as fast in some cases. When pg_get_wal_block_info is called with "show_data := false", it always returns NULL values for its block_data and block_fpi_data bytea output parameters. Nothing else changes. In particular, the function will still return the usual per-block summary of block data/FPI space overhead. Use of "show_data := false" is therefore feasible with all queries that don't specifically require these raw binary strings. Follow-up to recent work in commit 122376f0. There still hasn't been a stable release with the pg_get_wal_block_info function, so no bump in the pg_walinspect extension version. Per suggestion from Melanie Plageman.
