Teach contrib/amcheck's bt_index_check() function to check agreement between siblings links. The left sibling's right link should point to a right sibling page whose left link points back to the same original left sibling. This extends a check that bt_index_parent_check() always performed to bt_index_check(). This is the first time amcheck has been taught to perform buffer lock coupling, which we have explicitly avoided up until now. The sibling link check tends to catch a lot of real world index corruption with little overhead, so it seems worth accepting the complexity. Note that the new lock coupling logic would not work correctly on replica servers without the changes made by commits 0a7d771f and 9a9db08a (there could be false positives without those changes).

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.
