Summary: pg_checksums_ext can verify, activate or deactivate checksums

Description: 

`pg_checksums_ext` is based on the `pg_verify_checksums` and `pg_checksums`
programs available in PostgreSQL version 11 and from 12, respectively. It can
verify, activate or deactivate checksums. Activating requires all database
blocks to be read and all page headers to be updated, so can take a long time
on a large database.

The database cluster needs to be shutdown cleanly in the case of checksum
activation or deactivation, while checksum verification can be performed
online, contrary to PostgreSQL's `pg_checksums`
