Subject: [PATCH v2 5/8] Add amcheck verification for Direct TOAST tuples

Enhance verify_heapam in contrib/amcheck to validate direct TOAST pointers:
- Validate that the target TID referenced by va_tid resides on a valid block
  and offset in the toast table.
- Verify chunk header integrity (chunk_id is NULL, chunk_seq >= 0).
- Recursively validate child chunk TIDs and byte offset monotonicity for
  hierarchical direct TOAST trees.
- Check payload byte count consistency against va_extinfo.
- Add test coverage in check_heap.sql.
