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`
