Add pg_memory_is_all_zeros() in memutils.h
This new function tests if a memory region starting at a given location
for a defined length is made only of zeroes. This unifies in a single
path the all-zero checks that were happening in a couple of places of
the backend code:
- For pgstats entries of relation, checkpointer and bgwriter, where
some "all_zeroes" variables were previously used with memcpy().
- For all-zero buffer pages in PageIsVerifiedExtended().
This new function uses the same forward scan as the check for all-zero
buffer pages, applying it to the three pgstats paths mentioned above.
