I'm fine with using Int64GetDatum() for checksum.

While I agree that these two fields are unlikely to be > 2^31 - 1, I'm
concerned a bit about an inconsistency that the patch uses
Int64GetDatum also for both ondisk.builder.committed.xcnt and
ondisk.builder.catchange.xcnt.
I have a minor comment:
+ <sect2 id="pglogicalinspect-funcs">
+ <title>General Functions</title>
If we use "General Functions" here it sounds like there are other
functions for specific purposes in pg_logicalinspect module. How about
using "Functions" instead?
