The current state has pg_verify_checksum work on windows for casual
usage, which includes the regression tests that previously were broken.
Whereas reverting it has the advantage that a fixup diff would be a few
lines smaller. If you want to push a revert together with a fix, be my
guest, but until that time it seems unhelpful to revert.
