On machines with MAXALIGN = 8, the payload of a bytea is not maxaligned,
since it will start 4 bytes into a palloc'd value. On alignment-picky
hardware, this will cause failures in accesses to 8-byte-wide values
within the page. We already encountered this problem when we introduced
GIN index inspection functions, and fixed it in commit 84ad68d64. Make
use of the same function for hash indexes.
A small difficulty is that up to now contrib/pageinspect has not shared
any functions at all across files. To support that, introduce a common
header file "pageinspect.h" for the module.
Also, move get_page_from_raw() out of ginfuncs.c, where it didn't
especially belong, and put it in rawpage.c which seems a more natural home.
Per buildfarm.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
