I suggested making pg_controldata report the latest checkpoint's checksum state
as text rather than as a version. But, I found that pg_controldata reports
similar information "Data page checksum version", and pg_control_init()
exposes data_page_checksum_version as an integer version.

This makes me wonder whether we should drop my suggestion and keep the latest
checkpoint's checksum field as a version as well, or instead move toward
reporting textual checksum states consistently in all these places.
Or is there another approach that would make more sense?
